Before you click send

This post is not for everyone. There's a lot of rage and craziness out there... I mean, everywhere is a jungle, and we're somehow embracing our animal spirit! No offense is intended. Before I delve into something else, kindly think before you send that text or picture. I'm sure most people have heard that the Internet never forgets. For me, the Internet remembers only bad things! That your crazy tweet that went viral would be used against you in a few years. For those who project and ignite hate, try and calm down. I don't really blame you, because controversies are a great way to gain traction. In fact, it's a sustainable PR strategy. My question is simple: is it worth it? A revisit of the xenophobic attacks in 2020 is enough proof of how words on social media can make people take arms. Words matter, so use them wisely. I know you have freedom of speech and expression, but "freedom is restraint." Regarding pictures, I'll say send them responsibly! I'm still trying to understand the idea behind sharing nudes. Maybe you should just create an "only fans" account! Kindly disregard that advice. But then, you can't tell if your nude picture would end up on a porn site or in your church WhatsApp group. Besides, you could serve the person who has your nudes breakfast, and they'd try to blackmail you. With these few points of mine, I hope I have been able to convince you to think first before you click send. Screenshots are real! Learn Unlearn Relearn
