I’d be the first to admit I’m guilty of giving a little too
much of myself to social media at times. Be it updating my status, tweeting or
posting photos on Instagram.
So watching my mad fat diary which is set in the 90s this
week and remembering that the likes of Facebook and Twitter were still just a megabyte
on the horizon back in the days of my youth had me reminiscing to a time when socialising was something so much simpler.
It’s hard to believe it wasn’t so long ago that keeping in
touch with mates meant ringing them on the landline and that we sent letters
not texts. Innermost thoughts were confined to the pages of our diary and life
was something we lived not offered up in a small box on a computer screen.
So I’ve made a pact with myself to sign out of my virtual
life every so often now and go back to how things used to be because the detail
of whats actually going on around you is worth so much more than a statement of
140 characters or less, don’t you think?
