I don’t post on here a lot aside from seeking work for myself but I have had a lot on my mind in regards to social media and the good and harm it does for human interaction.

“What ever happened to the old saying “if you don’t have anything kind to say don’t say anything at all?” Our words can either be daggers to the heart or just what the ears of someone struggling on their last thread of hope needs. Wouldn’t you rather be that boost of positivity someone might need? I used to be on…”
