Diary Comic 9/6/14 Getting my daughter to ride her bike
The part where I lose my temper isn’t the part that ever goes up on Facebook.
I can’t remember who it was (maybe Dylan Horrocks?), but I saw someone saying that one way to look at Social Media is to think of your Facebook/Twitter presence as like your role-playing game avatar - a character you have created and maintain in the campaign of living a life online. My Facebook character is an easy going fun-loving Dad. He does very well in the ongoing quest to get lots of like and comments.
Keep this in mind, folks. Don’t hold yourself to an unrealistic standard. There is no standard.
Truth. All of it. It’s early, but I’m already going through these things with Billy. He does something one weekend, over and over and over, and the next weekend he is so scared of it and gets so upset when we try to
forceencourage him. And the social media thing is true too. I try to post a little bit of the good and the bad as much as I can, but it is really easy to just see the good in everyone else’s lives and hold yourself to an impossible standard.
For everything… Truth
