I treat social media presences the same as I treat writers.

There are writers who I absolutely LOVE on paper (blog sites?) but in real life are just ... not so cool. Their writing voice is calm, cool, collected, thought out. Their real selves are a little less edited.

I used to get annoyed by this and say that they were “fake” but I don’t take them being fake anymore. It’s just that different circumstances make different lifestyles.

My online personality is more who I would be if I had time to think every step of my life before I lived it. Which ive found still generates some “why would you do that’s.” It’s still me though. But, I can see how more tech savvy people can turn into avatars that only hint at their “real” life.

Enjoyed your post ❤️🦄
