Keeping you connected

My thoughts on the world of social media are limitless. I feel that these outlets we use to express ourselves and connect with others give us amazing abilities to empower and encourage. Raising money for charities, raising awareness of world issues, or simply congratulating someone for their recent accomplishments are among the thousands of positive aspects of social media. I also believe that they can be addictive for some people and can consume an unbelievable amount of time each day. If you are a person who posts selfies or trolls others on a regular basis, and spends minimal amounts of time thinking of ways to be productive or support people, you ain't doin it right. Just to clarify, I'm not saying that putting selfies online makes you a bad person. But everything in moderation people! These types of behaviors are only one dynamic of the social media scene. The phrase "expanding your horizons" certainly applies here; use social media for all of the things that it offers. We're all guilty of neglecting the better sides of social media, but its never too late to drop a message by an old friend or to post information on a relevant world issue that deserves attention. It could be those few words (or posts) that move someone to do something great! Let's all get the ball rolling. Those are my two cents for the day, and I hope you enjoyed them.  -HP
