Look Up

   Maturity entwines with the ability to be empathetic, one must know how others will feel when they do or say something. But actually taking that into account when you’re about to do something shows maturity. 

   Social Media has taken over so much of who everyone is today. Social Media is part of people’s personalities and appearance. The amount of followers, publicity, and acknowledgments define who a person is nowadays. Through Social Media, people think they’re invincible. Some don’t realize that what they say can actually hurt someone. NOT because they’re sensitive but because everyone has a weakness, an achilles heel, a soft spot.

   Nowadays, we use texting as our number one source of “getting to know someone”, but is that really getting to know someone? Face to face encounters are declining rapidly while texting and commenting on Instagram and tweeting or increasing horrendously. 

   Something so amazing and miraculous might be about to happen and some people wouldn’t notice it because they’re looking down at their phones, IPads, or IPods.

   Look up more often and actually open your eyes. You don’t have to post a picture on Twitter, because whether you do or not… It still happened and you still did it, you don’t have to share it with the hundreds of followers you call friends. Live in the moment, not on Social Media.
