Ramblings Of An Unquiet Mind

How Do People Do That??

You ever have one of those days where you are just scrolling social media endlessly, looking at all the amazing posts, the in depth thoughts of those that write them and all of the views, likes and comments?

I had a day like that today, yesterday, the day before that. In fact I find myself doing it a lot and wonder, How do they do that?

I know there are all tricks of the trade to use like Canva and endless other apps to do a lot of the work for you, but for someone who is not overly tech savvy I find it difficult. And do I really need to connect with people this way? Why do I want to have all those followers, all those likes, shares and comments?

I guess if I'm honest I want to reach people, to maybe say one inspiring thing that changes their day, makes it better, gives them something to think about. Believe in themselves and just encourage them from a total strangers point of view. But there are so many out there doing that already, why would I be any different to make people want to read what I have to say?

What I can say is that if I hadn't decided to give this writing thing a shot, I would probably never have taught myself how to do an instagram reel or post a story using Canva, as basic as they are. And even though they don't stand out, and probably never will, I pushed myself to learn.

I'm pretty stubborn and don't want to ask for help very often, maybe it's because I'm embarrassed to ask and too cheap to pay for the super dooper upgrades for the apps to make your stuff even more appealing.

Anyway, I had one of those days today, and Sir Cursoralot again, didn't get much exercise.

How was your day??
