SPILL, Threads, TikTok……. The list goes on and on. Ugh… too many platforms to name. Sadly, I’m on almost all of them. I know Threads is a part of IG, but it’s still another distraction. At this moment, I just can’t get with it.
Years ago, I thought it was cool to have so many accounts. I loved the excitement of interacting with people from different spaces. I was a multitasker and truthfully, I was probably suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder. I had accounts for every facet of my life. But y’all, after a while it became a bit too much, especially when I was receiving notifications from multiple platforms. Back then I had to be in the know and one of the first ones to reply to a post or retweet something. It was crazy!!
Today, I only receive notifications from one account. It’s as much as I can handle without becoming too distracted. With that said, I still have way too many accounts and feel like I haven’t been focusing on important things like national and global issues. Those were the things I used to be concerned with. It’s time for me to get back to reality and focus on what’s important. People are truly suffering while we are scrolling down timelines obsessed with other people’s personal lives or stories posted solely for clicks.
So yes, I’m okay with being left behind when it comes to the newest social media craze. The future of our world is more important.
