social media

I wonder if Social Media made me love myself? Or has it simply elevated the love of self? Self-sabotage through vanity. As vain attempts at false humility perpetrated to receive more likes. You see likes simply mean you like me and that fuels me. As affirmation is sent through keyboards and acceptance is the drug of choice. No shade simply stating that for some the sun only shines when their photo-shopped reality is approved by the invisible hands behind the keyboard.

Pops turned it around

It is crazy how my pops turned it around. I am blessed to see my siblings get a different picture of my father. A picture that was still forming during my formative years. For years I was bitter and had bitter beer face when you asked me about my pops. I was ready to pop because the feelings of rejections were so intense. Now I stand in awe of how my pops was able to turn it around.
