POSITIVITY ON SOCIAL MEDIA 

 

The bad sides of social media are well-known by everyone and I feel like they tend to only remember that. I agree that there are some incovenients to it, we can't deny it and we need to be very aware of it when we use social media. Some people are on there with bad intentions or they don't realize that they hurt other people, some aren't completely honest and want to show only the best and you mustn't forget about all this. But it is also a wonderful place if you want to be cheered up or even if you want to find confidence in yourself.

 

Social media is only what you choose it to be. You will see what you want to see mostly. You are the one who chooses who you want to follow, you can choose who follows you if you are scared of strangers. For social media to be a good experience, you have to be aware of everything about it, it can be as good as bad. 

 

I like to think of it as a positive place where people spread a lot of positivity. There are so many accounts of people who only want to encourage you by accepting yourself, loving yourself and others and only see the positive around you. Everyone has moody days I'll give it to you, but if one day you are feeling down you can go on social media to see things you like, see accounts that make you laugh. There are many people who use their platform as something for good and to help people. No one forces you to follow account that make you feel bad about yourself, and if you realize that later, just unfollow them. I am certain that seeing people who love themselves and tend to see life on the brighter side have made me become a better person than I was yesterday. You can always learn from others and learn to be a better person, some people will give you a new perspective on life that maybe you never saw before and maybe they will inspire you.

 

And it is not only about that. Maybe thet will inspire you with art, music and they wil give you inspiration to create art of your own or to try new things. Maybe you learn how to do that thing you have been wanting to learn for so long and that will make you happy, like learning how to play the guitar or learning how to speak spanish. It can be a place where people encourage others because I think that was the point of social media from the beginning. No one created it for people to feel bad about themselves and to suffer from comments of other, it was a place where we could all discuss and create new ties. We must all have boundaries and respect each other.

 

If I decided to write this article it's because I wanted to promote the positivity that you can find on every platform. Everything has bad and bright sides, especially social media. But it can be this amazing place if you use it correctly and are careful. It is up to you to make it a better place.
