I read a great blogpost recently that made me realize a lot of things about myself; while not inherently bad, social media is simply just a distraction and can cause us to lose sight of what we really need to be doing with our lives. You can read what made me finally change my mind here:

And no, I have no idea who this girl is and I'm not trying to advertise something haha. That being said, I still think that what she said, and how she said it, is so important. And what is even more touching are the comments. One in particular was from a practicing Muslim, who, despite having no thoughts of Christ who was talked about a number of times, was still moved by God to do what was best for them. I appreciate that they found a common connection with someone of Christian faith, because that is one of my favorite things in the world; finding connections with others, finding intermittent similarities between faiths and strengthening each other.
While it probably isn't necessary for everyone to just get rid of social media, I think that for most people, it would be a really good idea to reevaluate how often we're using it and see if it's something to change. I know I for one am on it way too often, and so for myself, it's time to cut back on your typical social media websites. So here's to blogging more, tweeting and facebook stalking less, and becoming closer to who I want to be.
