The demon called Social media

It was hi5, then Facebook, then Whatsapp, then viber, then instagram, then Telegram...

Every single one of them attempting to steal our attention.

I believe in the power of social media, I reconnected with B on Whatsapp which led us to where we are, I have over one thousand face book friends and over 500 pictures on instagram. It seems we spend our time, making private moments public. Wear that dress and take a selfie, be busy trying to capture your baby's first smile instead of falling in love with it just to share with the world. Or dress up and go for that perfect date with that perfect one only to spend it starring at our phones. We forget to live in the moment instead, we create shots just to share with the world.

I am guilty and I did not even know it.

Till I saw this video .

Tears rolled down my cheek by the end of this video and I knew I had missed out several magical moments.

Today I take a stance to put down my phone and look up. I am going to be starring more into the boos eyes when he comes, make private moments exactly what they are, private.... And allow myself to fall in love with life again.

What about you?
