There are some people who have started using social media as a lifeline, and they have to post from the minute they get up to they retire, every aspect of their lives. I needed to take a break and regroup.<br /><br /><a href="https://amerikalink.wordpress.com/2017/03/10/outsourcing-call-centers-reach-beyond-the-customer/" rel="nofollow">Joey @ AmerikaLink</a>Joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11185922222285090261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455155455451881817.post-64793726972633168902015-10-18T19:24:00.286-07:002015-10-18T19:24:00.286-07:00I love this.

I found that I have to remind myself often that people generally tend to post the "best parts" of their day on social media so we only get a glimpse into their real lives. If everyone was as perfect as their facebook profile made them out to be we would have a completely different world!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12158934179193286732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455155455451881817.post-8738097168763845182015-10-12T07:30:36.279-07:002015-10-12T07:30:36.279-07:00I feel this way too sometimes.

I like to imagine that outside the frame of the photo of the perfectly decorated bedroom, is a pile of laundry that needs to be put away. :) We just can't see it! I follow a lot of DIYers and lifestyle bloggers. So, my IG feed is usually just beautiful. I did have to limit my FB feed to pics of my friends' kids and puppies tho. I started to get really down when I opened up my FB account. That's not cool. Thank goodness for filters! I just filtered out a lot of the political "discussions" that were actually just nasty arguments.<br />Christie Asselin, Esq.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04319477124124945266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455155455451881817.post-9458975435930948412015-09-29T17:58:19.863-07:002015-09-29T17:58:19.863-07:00That is so wonderful, Deirdre!

I preach it to my kids when they come in crying about something they've posted on social media. I try to use it to motivate/encourage others.

I don't gloss over the hard stuff-addiction, disease, beliefs, etc. But I hope that I am helping others to become a bit better, to learn from us, there is always a silver lining. #livelifebetter , life can always be better, we can always help each other, lend a hand, share a smile. Some days are harder than others, but when I force myself to post something positive it helps me to be better too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17064084924219498676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455155455451881817.post-498103823439240992015-09-25T05:33:47.691-07:002015-09-25T05:33:47.691-07:00It certainly is a tough balance.

Like you say there are so many positive aspects of the internet but I also feel nostalgic for the time when we just got on with living our lives, traveled for ourselves, took pictures no one else would ever see, decorated our homes the way we truly enjoyed. I feel like social media makes other people's opinions too important. It's a tough balance.:)Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564805397010089954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455155455451881817.post-63492594265608757392015-09-24T22:54:43.879-07:002015-09-24T22:54:43.879-07:00Beautifully written and something that we all shou...Beautifully written and something that we all should strive to do, be the change you want to see in the world right?
