    Ms. Theodore is so kind. She allowed my daughter to interview her about meteorology a few years back without knowing us from a hole in the wall. May she receive the kindness she showed to us.

    She definitely seems like such a beautiful light spirit. I am so sorry that she is going through such a tough battle. May God continue to comfort her and bless her.

    I love the idea of having apps on a separate device from your phone & being more intentional about what you post + being present -- all great lessons

      This is exactly what I do. I don’t even get on social media every day maybe 2-3 times a week for 5-10 mins at a time. I don’t even enjoy scrolling anymore

    I'm doing the some. Had been a year yet from FB and IG (the only ones I have a profile on). I lossed my Grandmother, my job, I faced some health issues and felt like social media and posting was controlling and draining me. It was feeding me the se things and i didn't see much from people i actually knew. I even watch less TV. I am making an effort to reconnect with myself, heal the broken parts and still am on the hunt for a new job. Not only is social media tuff but this job search jas been as well. I am finding my happy and staying away from destructive things. Not sure when I will dive back in, but watching inspiring things on RUclips has been satisfying.

      Wow this is my story too except I haven’t been on Facebook since 2017 and Instagram barely all year. I’m not really a social media person and I have taken years off Instagram. I don’t really feel the need to be on. Everybody I talk to is offline. I need to hear Gods voice and my own. I lost my home, job, had to relocate and live with others. This job market is tough. Non stop interviews… hoping for a Christmas miracle. I gotta be out of here since they are moving. God will see me through. I’ll be praying for you sis 🤗😊✝️

      @@kathleneb4842Thank you so much that’s all I need. 🤗🙏🏽 I lost my sister to AIDS a few years ago and I wasn’t an online, and this guy that was an artist, called me and wanted to know if I was ok, because I wasn’t posting about his music. Out of all his FB friends he called me because something I said about his music, made him money and he thought I was supposed to be posting 365 about his music as if he had a personal marketing social media manager.
      I was just a fan. But he became obsessed with me. He wasn’t calling because he was concerned that I was losing my sister, he acted like he hired me and I was a means to an end, then he stalked me. Some people don’t care what you have going on. They want your attention on line 365 because they are online.
      Some people seriously need to take a break, because people are dealing with real life issues, then I lost my brother a few years ago too, then recently my favorite uncle and aunt. 3 months apart. Someone murdered my cousin too before the holidays. It’s been rough. I don’t have time to be looking at peoples pictures and what they are involved in and it’s nothing, they are just trying to stay relevant.
      I’m over here looking for work 365 on days I should be resting. But these people I live with, one is family the others no, they don’t really clean especially the kitchen. I love a clean home every day. If I had the money, I’d stay at an extended stay because at least it would be clean. They make over 6 figures and broke and are about to get evicted.
      If they don’t catch up on rent. One minute I was living in a beautiful high rise next, I’m back in the hood. I’m grateful for a roof over my head but I know I have to leave and pray God will meet me there because I barely have anything. Even with rent specials they want all this money upfront.

    Good insight on how to spend quality time with dying loved ones. Somara is still mourning her sister and marriage, which is similar to death and starting over without the people that she loved. Praying for her heart to be healed. It's process.
    I don't have an IG or X account, and I closed Facebook. I never had any social media accounts on my cellphones. I only do RUclips to see what going on in society in terms of news.

    This is a very intelligent and wise young lady. So very sorry to hear of her divorce & dear sister passing. I am praying for her and her family. I also pray she knows Jesus as Savior! His prompting is why I got off Facebook (partially) about 2 years ago. I’m SO grateful I did. I only jump on for a few minutes at very far between intervals if I see something important in a friendor family member’s life. I had even stayed on IG & have recently come waaay down off of that. Deleted the IG app from my phone. We need boundaries and time to do life one on one with real people. The Lord bless and keep her!
    HAPPY Thanksgiving all!

      Amen, I know that’s right, I just commented on another comment. Been years. I met people online and we took our relationship offline. We’re like sisters. I deleted stuff too and only go on if one of my friends text me to go on, but I miss out and I’m happy lol. I can’t stand only communicating online, some people member get offline.
      I saw a post by a few of my favorite artist and I’m like what is this photo dump about, so you can get likes when people are going through real stuff, I lost so many people and I don’t have either time or patience to go on peoples post and show them support when they can’t reciprocate or respond.

    God bless her. Social media can be a blessing (and a curse). I have been taking social media fasts for at least a decade. I will go ghost in a minute. I delete the apps off of my phone Mon-Fri. I get on IG on the weekends only. TikTok and RUclips are probably my most used. And that’s for specific content (cooking, travel, etc). I feel happier and less gloom and doom when I’m not on social.

    I've been off social media for almost a year. I had a problem with using SM as a time-filler...whether it was at a stop light or during a meeting, if there was downtime, I was scrolling. This was controlling my emotions and my overall happiness and I didn't realize it at first. SM isn't the issue, it was me. I was using it to constantly chat and wear myself thin..I was being nosey. I was "talking too much" and causing people I didn't know to judge me in ways I probably wasn't trying to.. I don't mind admitting I was the problem

      I agree. I have chosen to click the “do not recommend” button on many of the videos I used to watch regularly and also on those that are screaming for me to watch offering no good outcome for me.. I have also cut the cord on most of my prime cable news channels so that I only have local news, Starz, Showtime/Paramount +. ..and classic TV channels. When I can no longer deal with the noise of today, . . .there’s always an old Perry Mason or Andy Griffith episode to drown it out.😂

      I don't think so. Going back on social media doesn't defeat the whole purpose. She showed discipline, staying off for one year during a time in her life when she needed to be present. Now she's moving with intention and boundaries.
