The illusion of validation

If social media is your only source of comfort,
you will never feel it’s warmth.

In our present digital climate,
is your support system mostly virtual or physical?
Who’s got your back?

Depending upon online appreciation,
the last act of desperation…

Longing for the embrace of social media acceptance.

Likes and appreciation on social media
is an illusion don’t let it be an addiction

Everyone can have your back online,
but its what happens in reality that counts.

Don’t let the virtual reality
make you turn your back
towards the reality of life.

The comfort of social media

Likes can’t keep you warm at night.

Comforted by the likes of our fake lives
