Social Media is Fake
social media is fake. Its obvious I know. We all know, but what I didn't know- was the long term effects of growing up on social media. My first recollection of social media was going on those group chat websites and talking to strangers. Then myspace at the tender age of 11. The internet was a new terrain and I had absolutely no limits. I have far too many stories that Id rather not focus on now. I remember the day I got my first smart phone at 14. I remember the feeling because I looked at the device like I didnt know how I was doing it before. When I got my first Iphone around 16, it felt like I was a part of a new world. Twitter was the first eyes to read my writing, my late night reflections... So many apps. I even remember the first time I got caught up into some sort of "internet scandal." The subtweets, the rumors, the bullying, the horror stories... I never realized how much of that came to create my identity and who I presented myself to be online.
