SOCIAL MEDIA

Sitting beside my mom, I posted a photograph of both of us on my social media account with a caption that I love her the most and she is my world. Maybe making my online friends believe that this is the truth. But strangely could not gather enough courage to express my feelings directly to her. I was just unable to hug her and tell her that I love her the most.

Exactly this is what social media has done to each one of us. Still, we are so much engrossed in making our online lives so fancy and perfect that often we ignore its harmful repercussions. Having thousands of online friends, posting the most beautiful pictures with long and impressive captions have become an integral part of our lives. Often our fingers ask for mercy because they are super tired of continuous typing and chatting.

Isn't it funny?? Rather it is a matter of pitty. If by chance we come out of our social media accounts then there is not even a single shoulder to lean on and cry when we are upset nor a single person to share our happiness with. All thanks to social media which makes us alone at the end of the day. Being connected to friends is definitely needed but not at the cost of our personal lives and the people around us. 

Gossiping with friends, talking to relatives and many such things have just vanished from our daily routine just because we are busy making online friends just for the sake of increasing the count. Let's not make social media so powerful that it gets the right to lock us in one corner with are mobile phones leaving everybody aside.
