💸 Jumar Martin I give too many social media services my data but... I don't care?

Prince why not?

💸 Jumar Martin During high school I was always lectured on "having a brand" as if social media services getting your data was inevitable. With that being the case, I was told that one should curate their position on the internet so it shows your "best self" as much as possible, no matter what. With me being hyper-conscious of my face on the internet, I find that what I do "provide" is manageable... or so I think.

🎣 Fish that nauseating

💸 Jumar Martin It is, but it has become the norm. I can't express how unfortunate it is but I have to play the game?

🎣 Fish why play the game?

💸 Jumar Martin It's not "Fear of Missing Out," I barely use social media for that purpose. It might be more of a "having a presence, somewhere" feeling than anything else. If everyone else has a presence then you're behind and as such, miss out on opportunities that could be most favorable to your future.

🎣 Fish in my eyes youre pretty much dancing with fomo here but I understand. Due to certain similar opportunities my life has progressed and changed in beautiful ways but that doesn't mean you have to be on that network forever. If instagram gave me a lovely year due to connection, next year maybe going for walks will do that. Opportunities are not only online

💸 Jumar Martin For sure! It's unfortunate that the "culture" has trended to build itself more and more online but as time progresses, it ebb and flows... which leads to generating more connections in person. University allowed me to re-imagine what getting connected with other people meant and how to do so, but was hampered tremendously with the overuse of technology to actually connect with someone. With that being said, I have succeeded a lot during my first year.
