My guy lets me turn him into cartoons to show off my mens shirt designs.

Am I the only one?

Am I the only one?

It is only human nature to want to feel a part of something bigger and have a sense of belonging within a community! Social media makes me feel a part of everything I am interested in without even leaving my home. For example, I am a Latina woman living in North Dakota. There have been many times I felt out of place, looked different, and just perceived life differently the my North Dakota neighbors. However, social media still allows me to connect to my culture through music, movies, family, friends, influencers, and even celebrities, all from my living room in small-town North Dakota.

Where have you been all my life?

Homophily is the desire to be around other like-minded people. For example, I am interested in sewing and possibly even designing my clothes. However, all my current friends have zero interest in learning, let alone talking about these interests I have alone. With a quick Facebook search, I can find a network of people who love sewing and can offer me great tips and tricks. Just like that, a part of me that felt dismissed now feels validated by an entire community—making me more confident in pursuing my interest.

I'm not crying, your crying!

The therapeutic power that social media has with connecting people from around the world. A user can watch a live concert of their favorite singer and feel like they are right there with them, watch that same celebrity talk about chasing their dreams, inspiring a user to chase their own dreams. Maybe they need to figure out where to start, so they find a group of people who have already walked the path and can guide them on where to go next. Each time the user searches, likes, comments, or share content. The algorithms collect data and, in return, connect you to influencers that you share interests with, advertisements for products you like, and entertainment content that the user will enjoy.

Went for my first ride of the year yesterday. Back is super sore and across my shoulders and hips are angry; went again today. 😥😥😥 This little bee decided to hop a ride for a short while. 🐝🐝🐝 When a bee presents itself to you, it’s trying to remind you to trust in miracles and that we can co-exist through love and peace. 🐝🐝🐝 Seeing a bee signifies a need to connect with a like minded community and by trusting in yourself and your truth, you will find the community that you’re longing for. 🖤🖤🖤 Bees are about the balance between being productive and resting and knowing that both are equally important. 🖤🖤🖤 Einstein once predicted that without the bees, people would die within 4 years, equally to that point, as humans, we are social beings and it’s important to find connections in order to thrive. 🖤🖤🖤 #bees #savethebees #beesorbust #beesgowego #beesonbikes #firstrideoftheyear #caraccidentrecovery #witch #beesymbolism #witchlife #witchesofinstagram #instawitch #witchblr #findingmagiccommunity #findingmypeople #wheredoibelong #makingfriends #findingmyplace #connections #findingbalance #thisiswhatmentalillnesslookslike #spooniewitch #ilovebees #bikeride #witchyvibes #witchyjewelry #healingjewelry #ethicallysourced #witchblr #instawitch #witchbiz #gaiaiscalling (at One Off Oddities) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-GVer8JSOm/?igshid=25ngj683srrh

Happy

My life has been an extraordinarily strange amount of intense over the last month but holy hell if it hasn't suddenly seemed to work out in my favor. It's so weird that you think you're happy and then things change and evolve and then suddenly you realize, you weren't at all. And then, although life might not be perfect per say, it's exactly where you're supposed to be. Like suddenly the things you could have only ever dreamed of are happening, things are falling into place and you can feel the happiness again. Yah, that's where I'm at...I'm heading good places and I'm growing and exploring and experiencing and I can't wait to see what happens next ❤️
