Apparently at the advent of social media space we all did not worry about what we said or posted because we thought it was so esotheric since there was no legal requirements or boundaries
But I’m not to be driven by fear that what i post today will come back during the times i least expect it I’m a firm believer now or call me a social media evangelist if you have lived in that part of the East Africa Kivenjere and i would stand on the same length thou our beliefs differ in many ways
We all know that men worth the ground they stand on take responsibility for what they say,do and in this case post on the social media platforms and if you think there is no case for owning up your word then this is not for you in 2008 elections in the US the social media delivered the first black president in the USA with his Yes we can beaming all over the world if he has lived up to his words thats a story for another day
In the same breath the Arab spring arrived via the social media and from Yemen to Syria down to Egypt and Libya change and hope was as a result of such platforms and there is no doubt in my mind that the leadership that fell short of their requirement from the masses hate the social media platform and some have called the would be addicts rats and kids on substance only to find themselves at the exit
But there is another aspect of social media that has never been fully exploited its ability to connect people for the real reason the platforms were created for which is love and this is where your truly belongs i have not changed governments, closed a business deal but after years of nursing my addiction in this space i found love given the hours we spend exchanging chats and text messages i feel as if this person is behind my pc or in the next room
Last week i picked up my phone to call my aunt and share the news since she is old school she could not understand how and where we met and if this seemingly non-physical relationship had any hope of growing but i explained to her that social net work relationships have the hallmarks of the stone age type of relationship where the parents from both sides arranged the marriage for only the girl to meet her husband on the day of the wedding but twist it around in this case the would be couples take charge of the situation and working out their difference is much quicker and better i hope she understood
Bottom line is I’m in love and borrowing the lines from the run away bride because I know she will read this
I can guarantee you it’s not going to be simple
I can guarantee one of us will want to jump out of it but I can guarantee i will live to regret if I do not do this
