"That's not their responsibility to stop feeding you, it's your responsibility to stop eating it."

Social media has a well known reputation for damaging user's mental health. While this is valid and there are components of it's nature that make it toxic, there is also so much good that comes from it, which I felt called to speak on today. I share with you hopefully some different perspectives that you may not have always looked at social media through in efforts help you feel more at peace with the online community. And if anything, I hope this epi reiterates some super important life lessons as whole.
