You know that if you leave a comment, someone will see it. That’s how it works.

You also know that screaming from a street corner will get you some weird looks and not many positive interactions.

Where then is a good place to put our energy? What’s the best use of our time?

We are so entagnled in this “micro-blogging” quick fix life. It’s so easy to post a photo, a remark, an opinion. In the past the social media overlords swung the attention in our favor. They knew our friends would hit like, and some friends of friends.

They knew we could get addicted to this. So they slowly pulled it away, so some people who relied on (small businesses, creators, etc) would start paying for the impressions.

It was all a house of cards, and it’s crumbling.

But now as we return to blogging (like this), or email list, the rush isn’t there. The likes don’t flow like they used to. Fewer replies.

Which then makes us long for the social media hit. The quick fix. Post again, and again.

It’s gone, and it ain’t coming back.

The fulfillment we seek is already in us, it’s never from something outside (thanks, Alex for that one).
