Who or what is on your feed?
A few years ago my feed was filled with corny memes and other mindless crap.
I used FB for entertainment.
It was also my small vision of the world.
It’s where I lied about having the perfect life.
It was a time when I was consumed with being important and being liked.
I actually believed the stories that people posted about themselves.
I took a look at my life and compared it to my social media image.
Fake.
I was a closeted drunk, who was unhappily married, and living a nightmare.
I hadn’t decided what I really wanted in life so I faked what I thought people wanted.
This meant the bar was always changing.
I was neurotic because of it.
I had so much anxiety. What if people found out I was an imposter.
I was the Holy Ghost sanctified Christian on Sunday, a hard working alcoholic Monday through Thursday, and a Hell-yin on Friday and Saturday.
I was careful not to mix them.
I was a mix bag of crazy.
Then something happened.
I hit rock bottom again.
I could leave my house from paralyzing fear.
Six months.
Couldn’t eat.
Couldn’t sleep.
Didn’t work.
I sat an looked at the world through a phone.
I’m thankful to my mother who nurses me back to health with her love and encouragement.
She never judged me.
She cared for me as only a mother can.
2012.
I let of hiding.
I made a decision.
Never to let my mother have to see me that way again.
I was 36.
I decided to be an adult.
I committed to coming out of my freaky little shell and just be me.
I’m like an egg.
I’ve got a ton of hairline fractures, but I’m packed with a protein muscle building punch.
I’m not on social media for you.
I’m here for me.
It’s how I hold me accountable.
I post a s*xy, revealing pic it’s because I’m reminding me how s*xy I am.
You see a picture of my business or bank statement, it’s me remind me of what I’m creating.
This is my time capsule.
I’ll come back when I need to.
You are free to watch, not watch, comment, not comment, I’m still doing and posting me.
And for those of you wondering nothing triggered this post but my desire to keep me in check with me.
Happy Tuesday!
