Social Media is the Ultimate form of Virtual Reality...
Everything we survey has been CHOSEN. Handpicked, cultivated, and produced by the individual. Every post meticulously crafted to the specifications of the creator. I only see what you WANT me to see. There is nothing “Real” about it. It’s a place where you can be any version of yourself you so choose at any given moment; yet we have much less control in the creation process than we think...
What is being created is actually being controlled by those exposed to the content. What’s being put out is made specifically to ENTICE the audience; therefore, I am using that influence as the foundation of the DESIGN. Each item curated and shared is in the hope that you will see it and PAY ATTENTION. There is the rare “odd” individual that does not concern themselves with how much exposure their content gets; which still begs the question: Why?! If you don’t care if it’s seen, why put it out?! The answer: to expose yourself to the same scrutiny as the rest of the world. Validation is a hell of a drug...
Social Media is a way to manipulate ANY circumstance and turn it into exactly what you imagine. Perception is EVERYTHING. We are not thinking about what lies beneath. If you really want to know what’s going on with someone, you need to turn your attention to what’s NOT being revealed. There is a real individual attached, with a full range of emotions, problems, and life shattering events; JUST LIKE YOU. There are just as many setbacks, disappointments, and dreams deferred. They have simply chosen to shift YOUR focus...
Take a page straight out of the book of virtual reality and shift the focus of your frame of mind. You are who you say you are. Be mindful that the flaws unseen are as much apart of who you are as anything else. It is up to you to control the content of life and use it to shape the reality in which you choose to exist. Compare yourself to NO ONE...that is unless there is another soul on the planet capable of taking your next breath in your stead. Your experience is to remain individual, and to emmenate a light that is inextinguishable. Remember, NOTHING is as it seems; YOU WILL GET THERE. Take your time, don’t let virtual reality rush your journey by filling your mind with the half truths of others...OPEN YOUR MIND ~The Queen~
