Think before you act... or type

It is so important to have the right information before you share your opinions. I am talking about this because social media has kind of taken away what was common sense back then, and now people can just speak their minds. The usual excuse is because people are now woke and lit. In the end they look like children. It doesn't make sense that you just write or say what you want just because you want to be part of the conversation. I saw this during the Windhoek Fashion Week. There were literally people waiting for it to flop. And when it didn't, they still looked for negative things to post about.

We must learn to accept that when something is right, whether we like it or not, it is right. And when it is something that will benefit the majority, let us not try to break it down.

It's not a secret that we use social media for different reasons. Some want to gain fame whilst others like looking at people's pictures. Many simply want to reconnect with old friends and at the same time make new ones. This is where the trick comes in because we are raised differently, and our personalities are, of course, not the same.

Do not be influenced to suddenly want to do things differently because you see certain people doing it online. Don't lose yourself to social media. It's okay not to fit in. I have seen how this leads to people doing nasty things to please a following, or get attention.

Stick to what you know. Remember that doing something the way certain people do it online doesn't make it right. Again I say, always think before you act.

Be authentic.
