**WHY ARE YOU ON HERE?!**
Seriously! Why?!
Now your paying attention hear me out. There's so much to say but let me explain the main point. I will do a video on this but it's something that needs to be raised now.
Why do you have Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat etc. What is your actual main reason? "To stay in contact with people". Really.. so this is your only method of contact is it? No. Is that what most of your time is spent doing on these "social" platforms? No.
Try again...
What do you actually do here? Are you really interested in other peoples life's? Or do you only show interest when something's happened? Ohh drama. Oh someone's kicking off. Ah a funny meme. A hilarious video of a cat or a dog. 🤦🏻♂️
Be honest with yourselves. Have you seen someone has got engaged for instance or vice versa and gone from in a relationship to single and just scrolled past. I bet you have. So are these really your "friends"?
Ask yourselves these questions. I'll use myself as an example for this:
When was the last time we actually met up? Alright what about just spoke?
If we have spoken. Who initiated the conversation, was it actually you?
If it was you then ask yourself are you there for me?
If yes, when did you last let me know? And have you stuck to it since?
Do you actually care about me? Be brutally honest. Would you even shed a tear if I died tomorrow?
Now let's get to the point of this. Let's be honest. Sometimes we just need a little distraction. Some entertainment. And these platforms help. I get that. But if it wasn't for the work I do I wouldn't have these things on my phone. And here's why I've brought it up.
I'm always asked why I'm not "online" much. Why I don't post a lot. Because I'm too busy living! I'm being productive and trying to continue to make a positive impact on people. But this isn't about me. It's about you. And that's what you should be doing too. We all should. Like it or not we are in this together.
Seriously, when have you actually used your free time to show those you truly care about that your there for them? Instead of being consumed by the pointless content on here..
You'd be amazed how many people tell me these things, saying they are there blah blah blah but all their actions or should I say lack of, goes against everything they say.
But luckily I do have people there for me, who I actually know I can turn to. Not many, but way more than most. And that's the lesson you should take from this. Especially now.
If you truly care about someone. If you really want to know they are okay make time for them. Call them. Message them. Because right now the world is suffering. Everything that shouldn't be, is on the incline. Mental health disorders, depression, su***de, divorce etc! It's ridiculous that in a world that supposed to be so "connected" that so many of you have become so disconnected and left so many people truly feeling alone.
And for those who are on my "friends list" then know this. We may not actually talk much. But I am always here for you. If you needed anything I'd do whatever I can to help you. But let's be honest. We both know I'm not the first person you'd turn to. So go on. Talk to them and check in on them people first. I'm fine. They may not be.
And why not go one step further and see how someone is doing who you don't talk to? You may truly be underestimating just how much of a impact it has when you start a conversation with someone. When you tell them you care about them. Or that your there for them. Take it from someone who knows all too well. The simplest gestures like this could be all it takes to save someone! And it costs you nothing at all to do this! So why not?!
Time is precious. And something none of us ever have enough of. So use it wisely. We cannot control how much time we have. But we can control what we do with it.
Like I always say. Be kind. Stay safe. And remember, it's okay not to be okay.
