Rural Reflections

I was thinking about how we lead our lives and the changes to our lives since the advent of social media. Social media has existed long enough that I don’t really have a clearly defined definition of what pre-social media life was like; however, it seems more competitive and less sincere. My mom made hamburgers on buttered buns for our road trips. She also made cold lunches for me in an old one-gallon ice cream container. They both were awesome meals and I have good memories of both. Can you imagine posting my mom’s wonderful lunches on social media? A social media post like that would be passed over whereas a post of a sandwich that was featured on a television program would be popular. My mom’s meals were as good or better than the television stuff, they just had no one to hype them.
