It’s Polar – in more ways than one.

Goals today are not set in stone. They are living, breathing targets that should grow as you grow, adapt as you learn, and pivot as you encounter the unpredictable waves of trends.
I liked this quote. I’m considering a lot lately about social media. What am I there for?
I did an exercise where I opened the apps I use most. It was to look at the first 5 things in my feed and to notice and write down how they made me feel.
Two apps, owned by the same company…my feelings were extreme. The polar opposite of each other! Like the weather – Polar! How do you feel about the content that is in front of you? Jan2225

Re: Current state of Social Media. It is a real quandary as to what to do. Facebook has become a series of unsolicited ads, I find Instagram limited and I left Twitter/X a long time ago because of the negative content. However, I have long enjoyed being connected with friends locally and internationally and choosing to follow friends like you in their endeavours. I am very concerned that Facebook will continue to deteriorate and hoping that a kinder, gentler, user friendly site will emerge.
I’m so glad you made a comment on this post, it is/was an experiment to see if I could possibly move some of my work/content over here to the website (which I own, and can control). Of course, it also speaks to a privilege that I have where some folks on social media do not. I came to learn that it’s called an asset. LOL. Not sure why, I didn’t see it that way. I learn things everyday!
If my livelihood wasn’t tied to being online, I simply wouldn’t be except for the same reasons as you. My past experiences still impact me on the day to day and I’m trying to heal and grow. Currently, I’m focusing on making use of what I have right in front of me! A connection to YOU! and others like you who are kind, gentle and user-friendly!
You just made my day.
