I'm 15 myself and I can't say I ever enjoyed social media whatsoever.I like being able to communicate with my friends by texts or facetime when we are not hanging out in person,but I still don't like the whole insta culture and stuff.I tried to have a successful insta account for a while,but It just made me unhappy and stressed.What I think is a pitty is that when adults see me they just think I'm like so many others my age.Whenever they talk about "the good old days" i'ts awfully tempting to say anything,but of course I can't because I would get responses stating I wouldn't be able to know how it was back then.While I actually do.But I can't just start lecturing them about past lives etc, because they would just laugh and think i'ts just another "teenage phase".Or adults who use the "I'm older than you so I'm wiser than you and have experienced more" or "you haven't actually lived yet" immensely annoy me.Because...what do they know?I may be hundreds of years older than them in soul age lol who knowsI don't yet know whether I've lived lives on other planets... but I do know that the longer I live, the less I understand people as a whole. Either that, or I do understand them and don't like what I see!
That's a blanket statement, of course. There are plenty of decent folk on this rock, and at least as many sometimes-decent ones. With all of that being said, the world certainly seems to be on a more... interesting course than usual.
I'm enjoying hearing the perspectives of younger people in relation to the world today. (Yes, I'm over 30-- kindly put away the crucifixes and holy water ) You all are coming into adulthood at a time when "rugged individualism" has been taken to 11 and the internet (especially social media) has given us the ability to experience how petty and small-minded people can potentially be. The transition into the Internet Age was a bit jarring for the rest of us too, but you were born into it, molded by it... so it's being enlightening as to hearing what it's like from the inside.
