Technology is advancing at such a fast pace, and we are\ngrowing closer to each other on a global level. Unfortunately, we are\ndistancing ourselves from who we are, and what we are. Sounds strange, right?\nBut it is true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have become exceedingly dependent on technology. This is\nthe day and age of social media and it is impacting us massively. Do you\nremember the last time you met your friends without needing to validate the\nmeet-up via social media?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is an entrapment we feel in the world of social media\nto the point that if we don\u2019t get enough approval for a post (for example) we\nare prepared to delete the post. If a thumbs up or a thumbs down symbol has the\npower to control your emotions and play with your self-esteem, isn\u2019t that\nslightly alarming? Who gave it that much power? Why do human beings as a race\nhave to be insecure?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We must not let social media control us in any way, as it\nwill not only affect us in a negative way but also affect our mental makeup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A word of praise nor a word of criticism should define us,\nnor do we need to give it enough power to affect our self-esteem. It takes a\nlot of courage to express ourselves out on a social media platform and letting\nthat courage go downhill just because of a contradicting opinion or a\nnon-flattering comment is painful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Social media is an incredible source through which you can\nconnect to people, but connecting to people shouldn\u2019t distance you from\nyourself. You are you, and that\u2019s the most important thing in the world. A good\nthought to ponder upon <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou are a unique individual and there is no one like you\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
