Connected or...?

I never really used social media up until high school, but I almost wish I had never started using it then. Yes, it's fun, and like Alex I use Tumblr and Instagram for mostly art. My instagram is more personal, but it's not as much self-worth as it is a hobby. I find that instead of drawing or painting, I'll go on either of those and waste my time on there when I could be doing something more substantial with my time. After I end up spending more time than I wanted doing and looking at random things, I regret it and wish I had done the other thing I had planned. Using it to be connected with your friends is good, but I find I feel so much better with a phone call or a visit. It's your actual friend, and not just a name on the screen. Social media has become such a big part of our lives it's hard to ignore it or put it away, since then you would feel out of the loop. But, as I try more and more to put it away, and do something real, I find I am more satissfied with my accomplishments than I would be wasting time.
