Social media has been on the rise for a couple of years now, and has become a livelihood for some. I use social media to keep in touch with people from different chapters of my life, such as high school, college, work, travels, family, and friends. I think it is something that has become so polarized that we can post whatever we want, sometimes we don't see the damage that it causes some.
For me personally, I enjoy using social media for personal gain. I enjoy watching funny videos, things I'm interested in, and I also have learned so many things from social media. When I'm going through a rut in my life, I've noticed that what I'm feeling and what I'm going through, others have gone through similar situations. It sounds silly, like I know I'm not the only one who's gone through crap in their life, and I could have it worse, just sometimes, knowing that that feeling will pass and someone else has been in my exact same shoes before, really opens your eyes.
Social media has its ups and downs, just like life. People post the highs on social media, and can "FaceTune" their life in a way that they want others to perceive them as. No one posts all the negativity that's going on in their life, because they don't want people to know the negative stuff. That's why they only post the "highlight reels", so it looks like they are all that.
