I use Facebook, Youtube, Wechat and other social media.  Here I will discuss the good and bad of living with social media.

I have a friend in Thailand who I follow on facebook.  We only met in real life a couple times, but he and I connected over our shared passion for teaching with puppets. We’ve stayed in touch ever since.

On the other hand, it isn’t always helpful.  I often stay up way too late because I watch youtube before bed.

Sometimes when I go out, I like to leave my phone at home.  Instead, I take along a notebook and some pens. 

We’re living with social media now.  It has the power to help us or hurt us.  But we have the power to decide.
