Since many of those who follow you are actually family and friends

I get this, and the same happens to me. If it wasn't because of social media I wouldn't be able to keep with important people in my life.

I can't keep up with the Joneses, so why bother? :)

hahahaha awesome movie!

I've gotten to the point now where I think I'm pretty happy with myself and my life on an ongoing basis

I think that's the sweet spot we all want to achieve :)

Cheers mate!
