Life Between the Lines

As we navigate our lives, we fall into the trap of social media. It becomes our friend, confidant and mother. Not necessarily in that order. We use Twitter, Facebook, Tik Tok, and text through online dates, meet and greets and any other venue that we use instead of a face to face encounter. Nowadays we put someone else's picture on the dating app questionnaire and hope, if we get a hit, that we can make ourselves look sorta, kinda like our picture. The fear of failure and acceptance for being ourselves looms large and we don't want to feel the heartbreak of no one liking us. This is a story of just such a fantasy. But, how many of us are living in that fantasy right now.
