I've never used social media. It has always felt negative to me despite all of the positive aspects involved. I watched way too many people become obsessed. I also watched children become immersed in an adult world far too soon. People's personal business was shared and thrown about like it was tabloid news. I watched relationships fall apart. Reading and liking posts became more important than real social interaction. Most people are surprised when I call them to catch up.

People think I am crazy when I tell them I have never been on Facebook or Instagram. They cannot understand why I don't use Pinterest. It is like they cannot believe I can have a fulfilling life without it. I can't believe how much people have changed in the last 10 years or so. They don't see it until they get out of it like you did. I don't think it is evil, and I have also seen it change people's lives for the better. I just wish people would pull their faces up from the screen more and value what is right in front of them.
