Life, Social Media, and anything else

Last time i blogged it was  New Year.  Next time i blog it will probably be New Year again.

Since we last spoke my life has changed unbelievably.  I have a new job, which I really enjoy.  I have a new car which makes me smile when I drive it.  I am planning on moving into my own place sometime next year as well.

For some reason all these changes in my life have come at the same time as discovering a whole new level of being on the internet: Youtubers.  I follow a grand total of about 20 of them now, and I spend lots of time watching their antics.  (I still read books, and have a life outside of the internet, before anyone starts thinking I have completely gone mad)

I may have gone mad actually, social media mad.  Strangely my use of and promotion of my social media accounts (except Facebook) has increased exponentially this month.  I have no explanation for it.  I do tend to have fits and starts with these things, so who knows it may die down.  I must admit however, there is a weirdness in suddenly being drawn to sharing things with nobody, or very few people.  I have hardly 100 followers across all 6 social media accounts, so why am I bothering?

Maybe its just getting my feelings out there, without the fuss and bother of too many people reacting against them.  Afterall how many of you have ever responded to any of these (highly infrequent) blogs?

There is more to life than hanging on to the things we know and have around us.  There are greater things out there, a whole world to explore and experience.  Everyday we play it safe, keep to the familiar, stick in our routines, and for what?  A life unfulfilled.  Dreams never achieved.

I'm sure most of you reading this will be fed up with my constant Facebook posts about how  hate my job / life, believe me, I'm fed up with it too.  I think to myself that there must be something more than pushing paper around, loaning too much money to people who cannot afford to pay it back, and having my talent, ego and confidence savaged everyday because I cannot reach a set target in a dead end job.

Perhaps there is a way out?  Taking a risk?  Forsaking it all for a possibility?  But along with that comes unpredictability, the unknown, uncertainty.
