WHAT KIND OF A SOCIAL MEDIA PERSON WOULD YOU BE?

I have been thinking—contemplating, really—about balancing the urge to speak up with the benefits of staying private. Privacy is such a rare privilege nowadays. It’s very precious!
I have never been the one to share much (until this letter, obviously, as it organically turned out to be a rather soulful one). I have never been the one to confidently show my face on camera. I have never been the one to claim success, as I believe true success is constantly in motion.
BUT…
I have always been the one who talks, advises, and eagerly shares her self-announced wisdom with a close bunch of loved ones and friends. As my mother put it gently, ‘You talk too much! Why don’t you put it in writing?’
So, I wrote a book, and I have evidence to prove it – https://nemetra.com/books/
BUT…
I still have so much to say. So, I have been thinking and contemplating.
And if I was to be a social media person, what kind of person would I be?
Would I be a delightful positive thinker? – Hmmm… I’ve learned that sustaining a constant level of positivity might be impossible. We are just not wired like that. But I believe in valuing all human feelings. They are all oh so important! They guide us to find our way.

Would I be bold? – Possibly, maybe. I don’t know. Possibly. Maybe. I constantly battle my deeply ingrained sense of tact and diplomacy. But I can be super-bold when it matters.
Would I always be sure of what I say? – Nope, not going to happen. A quote from my book will explain why – ‘Maybe intelligence is not what we think it is. Maybe intelligence is the courage to try to understand another point of view.’
Would I have an opportunity to be consistent? – Yeah, right! My life is too unpredictable and full of surprises. And as this newsletter shows, consistency is not my strongest quality when it comes to social media. I write from the heart, and sometimes, the heart is not speaking up.
And so many questions like this come to mind! Would I? Should I? Could I?
I don’t know.
But I know for sure that if I were to be a social media person, I would probably be authentic. I hope so. I think I would not be able to be anything else. And maybe, just maybe, it could be a good thing. I guess. I hope. I am not sure.
I have been thinking. Contemplating really. Could I? Should I? Would I?
I don’t know. Privacy is just so precious nowadays. Let me enjoy it for a little while longer.
And you? If you were to be a social media person, who would you be? ??

1 个月In response yo Nia's question, I would be a poor SM person. Probably because I think that at least one third of it is complete bilge, another third is completely meaningless and the rest tries to strike a happy medium. I have known and worked with Nia since 2008. I can honestly say that she is the most thoughtful and caring individual. An excellent recruiter and a kind and generous person.

1 个月I’m always for mindful posts—I try to think before posting “Would my post inspire positive feelings or would it incite anger or hate, of which we have enough in the world?” So I think I’m for mindful and inspiring posts with a hint of personal confessions;)
