Social Media

Social media helps us all connect as slowly we all lose the skill to relate. We have a hundred or so friends that we see every detail of their lives in images rants and memes. But all we really seem to know about them is a very carefully curated version of their filtered lives. We are awed when they divorce their perfect spouse or end up in rehab.It is the lie we believe to be truth.

VERY GOOD. It took me a few seconds because I mistook it for a cross at first. But it became quite clear once I started reading it. A well deserved win Congrats

Well done, Jesse. It's all about image, isn't it? Reminds me of people living beyond their means, the way they carry on you would never guess they're one paycheck away from bankruptcy.

I enjoyed your honest look at Facebook. I rarely visit Facebook. I only joined to see friend's pictures. I am an aura photographer and love all types of photography. I wish you well in the contest Jesse. : )

So true. I might just have to make this into a series for all the social media icons because I do feel like this only barely scratches the surface.
