What happened next will shock you
Writing online, whether just on social media or as an actual writer can leave you in a very vulnerable position. You may share your hard work and genuine open content and some stranger can come along and shit all over your work. At the same time, we have never had so many opportunities to share our thoughts and creativity with such a wide audience. At a time when tensions seem to run so high, I have quite conflicting views about sharing so much of myself online, yet I feel compelled to do so.
I have a love/hate relationship with the internet. I think maybe most of us do. Thoughts that we would’ve let go into the ether can be shared with all the people we deem loosely to be ‘friends’ on the internet. On nights out, I made sure that my statuses were made available to ‘only me’ if I wrote something drunk that made no sense. This happened more often than I’d care to admit.
However, I think the positives (before I get into them) far outweigh the negative aspects of social media. You can talk to your friends in Japan, share events and use it for publicity for your little self-indulgent blog, share ideas and have a nice open exchange of ideas (although this is getting rarer). You can reconnect with people you have not seen in years and continue your friendship from where you left off. You can feel that…
