Connected Through Social Media

I think a lot of people perceive media (social media specifically) as this terrible brainwashing, mind-numbing thing. And although I do agree that in many cases social media can be very unhealthy, I also think it can be a really wonderful thing. Through social media platforms I was able to find people who have shared the same experiences as me which I’m not sure could have happened if these platforms never existed. I have found solace in connecting with other women and queer people to find groups that I can share experiences and be myself in. It has been freeing to have a community of people that I may not have gotten without social media. I feel more connected than ever before.
