Here are some photos that I can share with you guys that includes my social life in the world of social media.
I have three apps that I used in my daily routine. These were the platform I used to connect with other people's lives. When we see all of our contacts’ status updates and photos on social media, we may feel like our life is boring and has nothing to offer. So, we do everything we can to resemble the rest and upload thousands of photos to tell our stories. It becomes a competition with yourself and other people.
One of my favorite apps is Instagram, wherein I can share my photos to my followers/friends. In this platform I can also see the beautiful photos of the ones I followed. Also, I can see my favorite singers/artists go on live and hear updates about them. For me it serves like my storage for the beautiful moments that happened in my life. Next, is Facebook. This the platform that almost all people in this world have access to. Almost everything can be found on Facebook; videos, stories, people. I use Facebook to get updates from my schools, friends and other people on what is going on with them. However, I use it the most as a form of communication because it was so efficient in a way that we can get the response quickly. The third picture is on an app called EXO Amino. With this app, I can communicate with my fellow EXO fans around the world. In this app we can update each other or gather updates about our idols. I also make new friends with the same interests and make myself confident that there is a fandom where I think myself belongs to.
What happens on our social medias is separate from the real and authentic. It’s more an exercise in publicity and the need to define ourselves in a certain way. With these, I can say that in some way, I am controlling myself to be like this and that. Everyone wears masks on social media, others might just see it as a platform wherein they can gain confidence through their followers and likes. For me, I only use social media for communication purposes and just something that I can do when bored. We should not share everything online for the sake of bragging or something because we might get harm from it.
