SOCIAL MEDIA

JEEPERS CREEPERS

By Novel AllenPublished 5 years ago 1 min read
PUZZLEMENT

I am terrified of this social media thing.

These two words make me withdraw deep into my shell.

It is a scary dark maze.

I tried to avoid it, like the plague.

It is my arch enemy.

So now you ask me to :

Jump in

Make friends

Post videos

Post info

Become the influencer

Open up my mind to the world

Step into the future

SHARE.

I see tentacles reaching for me.

I run.

I hide.

Seriously, my first post is of me in my nightgown (forgot I was wearing it)

with a big white door behind me, puzzling if I should look up or down.

Am I alone in this maze dilemma?.

BRAIN FUZZ

Jeepers creepers.

Be brave you say.

Slay the monster.

Overcome.........the.........fear.

The world heads that way.

Lead.

Follow.

BECOME SOCIAL.

OH MY HEART.

Young, old and in-between suddenly need to wear contacts and eyeglasses.

Are we evolving or devolving.

It is a matter of opinion.

I'm 'gettin' it though.

After all, one has to be :

SOCIAL.
