Too Many Social Media Articles Include "140" in the Title

My relationship status with social media has always been complicated. I teeter between wanting to share the goodness I see in the world and wanting to keep it to myself for fear of obtaining a Pollyanna reputation.

However,  I've found that I generally receive positive feedback so long as I maintain a tone that mirrors my voice IRL (to steal a social media acronym).

Those who mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind.*

  1. I, too, struggle with social media because I have a very low tolerance for inauthenticity. I am alway grateful towards people who maintain a genuine and honest front even while online. Thanks for sharing!

  2. Bless your heart, That would be a profound struggle to not have the ability to speak/listen to your mother's voice. I should never complain again about my limitations.
