I shared this tiktok to my instagram stories to show what quarantine has really looked like for me in the hopes that someone could relate to my emotions and feeling shared in it.
In my response to the lecture video, I said that the online persona you craft for yourself is almost always superficial... I think that I might contradict my own theory; OOPS.
In my case I do my best to represent the good and bad sides of myself to the internet. It is not because I feel that I owe anything to the internet, but I like the idea that in the sea of users who are plastic and fake, that there could be an ounce of reality on social media and if that reality is me then I am proud to show it off. -- and not on an instagram which is dedicated to posting the embarrassing aspects of my life, but on my insta, the "real one." I am the same way on my snapchat, I use it as a form of a diary of my emotions through day to day life I guess you could say.

I am not sure what it says about me that my instagram has always been casual and that I like it that way. Does that make me authentic? or does that make me superficial because I am aiming to be authentic?
I am not sure of much these days... So I guess we can add it to my list of things that I am unsure of.
