Ever get that feeling like you wake up
And before your eyes are even open your thums already doing that thing taking you straight into that
You know that digital hurricane
Oh
Absolutely
It's crazy right it is like it could be something as simple as your neighbors ridiculously cute new puppy over sure you know golden retrieve or something or even worse is like a friends cat passed away right right or maybe your colleague just you know whippup some amazing artisen bread right swado starter is alive and well exactly
And then of course there's always that you know the drama
Oh
The dramknow someone's relationship just exploding on your feed
Oh Yeah
The play by play
And know all of that before you've even had your first cup of coffee
Before the caffeine is even kicked in
Yeah
It's striking how we just dive head first into the lives of others before our own day has even really begun
And you think what it's so ingreininous this need connect and share so absolutely
And i think our source material really highlights that you know it's like this deeply human thing
But it's been magnified a thousand times over by these platform
Yeah
Thousand times over s right we are consuming and sharing more personal information in those first few minutes of the day
Than are no great grandparents probably did in a week
If you think about it
That urge to communicate you know to record and chair experiences goes way back
For sure
I mean we're talking
Cave paintings
Oral story telling you know gather around a fire
Um
It's a fundamental part of being human right
Absolutely
But then social media comes along
And it's like someone just pred gasoline on that fire
Oh Yeah
It's an excelerent for sure
Suddenly you can just tap
Tap Tap
And boom your thoughts are out there for everyone to see
It's a level of reach and immediacy
That's just unprecedented
And it really makes you think are we really a wip to handle this kind of power
Right that's the big question isn't
It because this ability to share so easily comes with a lot of responsibility absolutely
And sometimes it feels like we're still figuring it all out learning as we go
Yeah
We share something without thinking
And then we regret it
Oh Yeah
That oversharing spiral it's tough
Right it is tough
And i think a big part of it is that our default setting
When it comes to privacy has shifted
That's a great point in the past
Privacy was kind of default
You had to make a real effort to share something
Yeah
You had to write a letter make phphcall exactly
But now it's the opposite sharing ing the default and privacacy taefforfort you have have to opt out of shering
You do that's
That's fundamental shift ft huge conceences so sure
Because when that imppose to share goes unchecked we end up with this flood informamation much of it very fonont
And it's not all sunshine and rainbows
Either no not all mixed with those cute animal pigs and you know delicious food photos
There's a lot of raw unfiltered content
People sharing their struggles
Their anxieties even just random thoughts
And that can have real consequences
You ababsolutely for individuals and our relationships as a whole misunderstandings blown out of proportion
Because the misconstrude post reputations damaged because of a thought less update these are real things out
That happen they are
And it's not just about how our online activity affects others
It's also about how it affects us so true
You know that constant awareness of an audience
It can really change how we see ourselves like we're always performing exactly
And when we're so focused on how something will be received online are we really experiencing it for ourselves
But such a good point and makes you stop
And think about your own habits like imagine or watching a gorgeous sunset
Beautiful
What's the first thing you do
Do you grab your phone and start composing that perfect post
Oh Yeah
Guilty is charged sometimes
But in that moment of trying to capture it and share it are you really present
Are you fully experiencing the beauty of the sunset
Or are you already thinking about filters and captions
Yeah
It's a dangerous cycle
It is because we start to prioritize experiences based on how sharable they are rather than how they make us feel
We start evaluating our lives based on external metrics
You know likes and shares instead of our own internal compass
And that's
That's slippery slow
But it is so how do we navigate
And
And how we find a better way
Well our source material actually offers a surprisingly simple solution
Journally
Journally
Yeah
I know it might sound a little old school
Like something we did as teenagers the diary under the mattress
Exactly
But it's so relevant in this digital age
Because it's about carghting out of space for privacy
Yes in a world
Where everything is so public
Choosing to keep something's private is almost revolutionary radical
Even it's like creating your own private social media feed
Where you're the only follower
I love that analogy you can share your thoughts and feelings without any pressure sure of form or worry about what others will think no fear of over sharing
Because the only audience is you and our source actually mentions using a tool igertion for this
You know short entry is almost like private tweets
It's like a space for raw and filtered authenticity
You can vent celebrate smallds process difficult demotions it's all there for you
And that's so importortbecause it allows us to fully ly process our experiences without the need to filter them for public consumption
It's all about self reflection and personal growtions without the scrutiny of the outside world
And it helps us break free from that constant need for validation exactly
Journling offers a different kind of reward
It's a slower more subtle gratification that comes from understanding yourself better to shift from external validation to internal awareness
Now our source does acknowledge that this transition from public shshing to private
Journling might feel a bbit strge ent first
Oh Yeah
We're so used to that instant feedback loop of social media
Exactly
But that initial discomfort that feeling of solitude
It might actually be a good thing in a world of constant connection
We rarely get a chance to just be alone with our thoughts
We need those spaces of silence and solitude to truly hear ourselves
And it's not about abandoning social media all together
Right
It's about finding a balance
It's about recognizing that not everything needs to be shared publicly
Exactly some things are just for us
We to cultivate that private space
Just as much as we cultivate our online presence
So maybe instead ranting about a frustrating workday on twitter
You take a few minutes to process those emotions in your journal or instead of live tweeting your entire vacation
You use that private space reflect on what those experiences really meant to you
It's about choosing intentionality over impulsivity
Choosing it understand our own lives on our own terms
And i love how our source puts it at the end
They say that in a society
That valu's visibility so much
Choosing privacy through journalcan can feel punk as fuck
It's like a rebellion against the constant pressure to perform
It's about reclaiming our thoughts are experiences
Our interlives and recognizing that they have value even if they're not sure with the world
It's about finding meaning and fulfilm it within ourselves not just in the validation of others
And that's a powerful message
It is so go out there find your private space and start writing
It might be the most punker ock thing you do
Today absolutely
Until next time see then bbe
