Sharing

I said that I wanted to be noticed. That I do all these things in order to be noticed.

On one hand, yes.

I do these things because I want people to notice me. I felt my Noticed blog (See links above) was me being very real and honest with myself with where I was at. It felt vulnerable for me to share that I wanted to be noticed and that I was doing things on social media, etc for others to ‘take note’ of what I was doing in my life and creatively.

BUT…(And of course there’s a ‘But…’)

Maybe it’s not so much that I want to be noticed (Because yes, I do want to be, in a way), but maybe I’m doing these things because I feel like they need to be shared.

So, maybe, when I post on IG, or FB, or whatever, that it comes not from my need for others to see me, but it’s more of a way for me to SHARE with others what I’ve been up to.

Having an attitude of humble sharing, rather than a prideful ‘Look at ME!’ attitude is probably better all around.

I don’t like social media very much and have had conversations with friends (In-person, mind you) about the good, bad and ugly of it all…

There’s a need in me to share with others what I’m up to creatively.

The easiest way to do that is by putting things on SM.

Maybe my attitude is what I need to look at, the Why I’m doing it…to be noticed or to share? Do I do it in humility or pride?
