I never get how people post so regularly on things like Instagram stories, I mean like I get it for people who use it for business or they’re some kind of influencer. I myself am an artist so I get how it’s important that you stay relevant, or else you get washed up in the forever abyss that is the internet. But I’m talking about real people, the kind of people who don’t really have anything interesting going on in their life and just pretend they do, the kind of people who follow trends just because everyone else is doing it but don’t actually like the trend that much. Those kind of people. My Instagram page is full of them, all people from my school mostly, I tend to get suggested to peoples accounts and they follow because they know me and are desperate for followers because apparently masses of people who you don’t know seeing what you post freely online is something to want in life. I may have a relative hate for most of them but I do follow them back purely because people watching is fun. Their Stories are always full of the most pointless shit I have ever seen. It’s mostly Q&A’s, which I find incredibly amusing because the people hosting it are never really interesting, and have about 42 followers at maximum, yet still they get a good twenty questions for every Q&A they post. I wonder how many are just from their own alt accounts. I genuinely find it so odd that people will post things like they’re famous to a group of people who they see every day at school.

I’ve never really got social media though, like I have it because my friends have it, as a person I’m pretty much expected to have it, I'll post rarely on things like Instagram, maybe a dog photo or some place I went to, distant relatives and old school friends like that kinda stuff. So maybe I do the same thing, But It feels more like a diary I only pick up one every three months or so when I find I have something to say. I feel like in my three posts of my dog and my best friend it could mean more than a Q&A people don’t care about. I think what makes the big difference is that I'm not some guy that spends all his time complaining about how single he is, you know those “me and who?” posts. Or constantly pushing their mostly useless political opinions, that in the big picture no one cares about because its the kind of thing people only talk about online. I don’t suppose social media has any purpose though. 

Hence this post, I felt like actually saying something. This post doesn’t make a point, or have a deeper meaning. I just wanted to type. So I did. It feels really nice though, I mean like. You see all these people trying to constantly string out decent content, and they get burnt out. But typing, absolute bullshit, it’s actually very nice Indeed.
