This topic just reminded me of when I was still in secondary school... I didn't know anything about social media or the internet self... I was naive and innocent...
Infact I can vividly remember when I open my first email... I didn't even know how it looked like, I used my uncle's phone to open the email which we can say that it was my uncle that opened my first email for me....
I didn't have a phone then, but I was always curious to know how it feels to be in those platforms when my school mates talked about it....
Some of them said they used their parents small cell phone to open Facebook and other platform... That even made me what to find out more about social media platforms especially Facebook...
During one of my holiday period, I took my mum phone and tried it and to my amusement, it actually opened, I created an account and I was soon excited.. At that point I didn't know that there were other platforms I could explore...
I even became obsessed with the platform 😅😂 I didn't even know that I was always on free mode... But one thing I can remember was how shocked I was at the same time excited....
My mom's phone started Missing on a regular, everytime I'm back from holiday, I will abandon my school project and everything and head straight to my mom's phone chatting with people I don't even know 🫣 but I just thank God I knew how to spell....
One day,after my PS3 graduation, my parents got me an Android phone as a gift... I almost ran mad for screaming... I was happy and excited....
I went to Facebook and saw a different thing entirely from the one I saw in the button phone, there were lots of things to explore there.... Reels, I met a lot of friends there and I was in awe...
I don't even want to talk about Instagram and TikTok, I basically built my life there, I spent my money on data making sure I was online without achieving anything for the day.... The day that I don't have data to go online, everything go just pain me, I will borrow 2k data and finish it in one day...
As a newbie on social media platforms then, I wanted to explore, I wanted to be seen everywhere, I wanted everyone there to be my friend, I didn't want to be left out..... Seriously, I felt happy, I was excited, I felt among... I didn't know there was more to this....
Now, this is me, i can go a full day without even chatting or doing anything on the internet, that excitement isn't there again... Social media is now brutal, it's only for the strong....
