YOU ARE WHAT YOU MEME

How many “meme” accounts do you follow on social media? 

How many accounts do you follow that ONLY spew out negative garbage? 

A lot more than you might think. 

The “meme” generation is in full swing and it’s not uncommon for a random meme page on social media to get millions of followers. Most of these pages regurgitate the same idiotic nonsense though. 

You become what you see and do every day. If you’re constantly scrolling social media and all you see is the “memes” saying things about always being tired, never being in shape, hating on the opposite sex, and the like… that’s what you will become. It might seem a bit extreme but the things you feed your brain everyday end up becoming your reality. 

On average 28% of all the pages you follow on social media are pages like this. 

Let me give you an example. The Instagram page “Insta-single” has 6.4 million followers… one of their most recent posts says “two incomes is better than one, queens make sure your man has two jobs”  Now along with having appalling grammar, this might seem like just a simple joke on the surface, however, when things like this are ALL you see every day and all you take in… how do you think your brain will offer things up to you later? Exactly in this type of context. 

If you’re single and all you follow is pages on IG about being single and hating on the opposite sex… it’s no wonder, why you’re single.

If I am offending you in any way or rubbing anyone the wrong way… GOOD. Take a long look in the mirror and realize you become what you follow. If you’re going to be on social media why not use it as an enhancement to your life, instead of a detriment? 

Instead of following the “insta singles” and the “ hoe gives no fucks” type pages, why not start following entrepreneurs, pages that spark your interest, pages that offer value. Pages that don’t automatically put your brain into negative self-talk immediately and every day.

I was and am still guilty of this. I unfollowed as many of these negative pages as IG would allow this morning and I intend to cull the rest of these nonsense, negative pages as soon as I can. I choose to use my social media now to add value to people, add value to myself, and LEVEL THE FUCK UP. Who’s coming with me? 

Cheers all
