To say I spend too much time on Instagram is an understatement. It is so easy and addicting to just
keep scrolling,
and scrolling,
and scrolling,
and scrolling,
picture after picture and even videos! It is a simple, yet a satisfying app where you can get enough details about what your friend or family member near or far is occupying their time with.
I love that it keeps you connected with certain businesses and companies. You can find great steals of deals from the information they post. I mean if you like a picture and repost it you could win trips around the world. All depending on how generous the company is feeling. ( I have yet to win something) Feeling:LUCKY!
I love following friends from around the world, it is my little personalized world news update. I have friends in India right now and it is inspiring to see the change they are making to others lives. They work with people who are affected with leprosy. Did you know this disease is still affecting millions of people. Feeling: INSPIRED!
I also get to follow my siblings and their kids. I have three older sisters. Oldest lives in Richmond, VA. Second in Chicago, IL, and third in San Francisco, CA soon to be London, England. SO yes they all live way too far to stop by after school and give their kids a little squeeze. Instagram helps me see how adorable they continue to be and it is fun to watch their personalities grow. Brings a smile to my face. Feeling: HAPPY!
So many emotions with just a couple swipes(scrolls) of photos. So many ways to feel.
Food for thought(#FFT): How has social media changed the way we express the way we feel? Do you think it has changed over the years?
What are you scrolling on Instagram? What connections do you have?
I love the positive spin you took on Instagram! I sometimes feel bad about being on it so much, but you're right - there are a lot of positives about it! I'll have to remember that next time I get on there :)
ReplyDeleteI'm just barely getting into the Instagram scene, but I love it! So much less drama than Facebook! :)
