So today I joined Twitter as a good friend, one of my fellow ‘Warrior women’ suggested that it could be a way to get my voice heard. So far so good.
I was reluctant at first as I have disengaged with Mainstream social media as I believe the platforms have become very toxic and what was designed to bring us together is now dividing us and fueling hatred.
This new account I will follow only those that share my values. I also have an Instagram account where I share and follow mindfullness and wellbeing accounts only. Things that motivate and inspire me.
This for me feels like my new angle of social media engagement and to be honest its quite liberating. When you go through such a life changing experience and also experience a complete lack of control over lots of things in your life just as I have over the past 18 months, the more you realise that you have to change the things you can control.
I am not religious but I try to live by the Serenity prayer of:
Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
