Me, my cr, lockscreen, pinterest & last song
Oof. Showing my face on social media is WEIRD.
Opening up about social media presence can be quite daunting at first. I've found that sharing even small, personal details—like your phone's lock screen or the last song you listened to—can make the experience more relatable and less intimidating. For example, my current lock screen features inspiring Pinterest visuals that reflect my mood and favorite themes, especially in fantasy books, which ties into my other interests shared with the hashtags #fantasybooks and #bookish. Music also plays a huge role in how I express myself online. Recently, I’ve been listening to "The Scales Lost Harmony" by Jasmine Willis and "You Think of Me" by Jesse Detor, both of which resonate with my current emotional state. Including these songs as part of my social posts helps others connect on a deeper level, emphasizing the mix of vulnerability and creativity that comes with putting yourself out there. Though showing my face on social media feels weird sometimes, coupling it with personal elements like my playlist or favorite pinboards helps me build my own unique online identity. This approach has helped me engage with communities that share similar interests, providing comfort and a sense of belonging. I encourage anyone hesitant about sharing their true self online to start small—perhaps by showcasing what music moves them or a lock screen that represents their personality. It can be a powerful step toward genuine social interaction and personal growth.
