And it worries me immensely that women face this deception-it worries me that young girls growing up in this generation have no idea what it means to have self realization-they struggle with identity because they focus on superficiality-and it feeds into their lives, it gives them lies, births desperation in their personalities as they seek for a social media identity-so why does it seem the more women fall into this stream of dreams-because social media poses, and jet setting postures that feed a female’s decision to change her initial dream into a nightmare dressed in distraction-ready to give away her aspirations as they become saturated with female poses that redefine the meaning of attention; poses that reclassify what it means to be successful and to impact a generation-through the lens of a technical fence, through the glare of a mobile defense, they create images that hold an illusion-that create more problems than solutions and confuse themselves through the social media attention it births in their steps creating chaos and delusions as it manifests in their daily decisions. And yet young girls are exposed in this new dimension, this generation that imposes stamps of approval on women for showing off their figures, rather than understanding the power in mental intuition; this generation that supports through its actions a female’s decision to display suspicious locations that can only be birthed so easily-without a blemish of hard work and determination-through a male’s constant objectification that speaks through financial flows of inundation-designer bags and labels surrounding her demeanor-eating away at her composition and yet she smiles and snaps another image to feed the admiration of followers that claim this position. It worries me-that women don’t understand the power in education-that so many women are aspiring to be more plastic than potent in their God given aspirations. There are a few that stick out of this mold of greed and lustful attention, there are some that still understand the power behind books and words that speak of dedication, hands that work in determination, minds furious with business aspirations, ready to redefine what the world thinks is a woman’s place and her position, ready to add to the description that is birthed into the world’s daily decisions as they host positions of power in board rooms and dominions graced with admiration after working through education, focusing on their talents, determined to make a mark on their generations. Yes, there are those few that are remaining that see past the façade of social media disguises, and have no part and want no say in these devilish distractions because they understand the envy it births in a female’s focused attention-they understand it creates an environment of greed that takes away the talent stored in a woman’s intuition. And even men are growing up in this generation misunderstanding what it means to be a gentleman that is built to lead, choosing instead to raise fists; eager to receive the gift of sweat filled labour they did not engage with- ready to be showered with praises of ethics they fail to imbibe; confusing social values, speaking lies. misunderstanding that answers are only birthed in the path of consistency in character produced in daily grind. Mixing determination with an obsession of paper planes flying on the wings of lazy aspirations as they sit idly in the hallway of attention to prove themselves through words that fail to manifest into actions that show genuine dedication. And this is all a product of false images through a social glass that transfuses reality through a snapshot of reconstructed identity. Don’t fall into that trap of leaving behind your calling and identity as you chase an illusion that never faced the breath of reality. Those images and pictures you crave through the social lens-lead only to graves. Graves of dead dreams silent with the social media snap of a perceived reality that actually does not exist-a ghost is what hosts these images. Mind you I am not talking about every single depiction that comes through screens of Facebook, Twitter and Youtube communications amongst other growing networks of conversations-no. There are few men and even fewer women-but who really cares how the scale tips when both sides are subject to the mirage of being a false witness-both sides of the same humane depiction of a generation-are birthing dead aspirations-chasing images-focused on false attention-while fewer still understand the deception that is birthed through these social avenues that still garner attention-people speak against this enhanced depiction of women that have jet set lives that speak only of lustful decision, but still they focus and desire to be on that ride-failing to understand there are no dreams to be received when one crosses the path to a deceased mentality. That is the dangerous exchange that takes place that so few refuse to face. But like I said, not all women and not all men misuse these devices of illusion-some speak through them to communicate a language of truth to the present generation-some use them to inspire others in their daily regrets and struggles, some use these tools to speak the Word of truth, while others show how to grow in one’s personal attributes, so you can choose how you want to use your social media tool-don’t misuse these technological routes for a personal prose that speaks only of hues that hold no truth. Don’t fall into that group-it is a mass of sinking bodies buried under photoshopped views.
Are you one of the few? Are you one of those that speak from a platform of truth? Are you one of those eager to give back to the generation you have been placed in to move?
I hope you are part of these few-they grow and give back to society’s weaknesses in their truth-and I admire every single one of them for standing up in truth-for recognizing the power in self-identity-rather than creating false illusions of vanity hosted in vain views. Yes, I admire them-they are the brave few-who understand their position and do not wish to occupy someone else's shoes.
