a little slice of escape
The power of social media. It has the ability to connect us, help us, advance us, and very much hurt us. That fact has never been more apparent as we funnel ourselves into a new age and brand of public shaming - the main topic of Jon Ronson's book.
As the halfway point of what's been, so far, a roller coaster of a year (some would argue an endless plunge) approached, I sought out something to read that wasn't riddled with unfortunate news.

It sneaks up on all of us. Life takes a swing - sometimes you duck, sometimes you get hit. Sometimes you get hit twice.
I'm a woman in her mid-twenties and I definitely don't know it all. In fact, it feels like I thought I knew MUCH more about life ten years ago, than I do today! Isn't it funny how ignorance is bliss?
A little inspiration to find the strength to overcome your Grand Canyon-sized problem and come out the other side a better person.
