A Love Affair

Social media and I have a love/hate relationship. Well, maybe that’s not true, but it’s a relationship suffering from neglect—on my part.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Social media and I completely enjoy the time we spend together. I just can’t seem to find the time to satisfy it. It’s not that it’s demanding, okay, it is, but I knew that going in. There are just too many aspects of our relationship, it’s overwhelming at times.

Myspace is sadly neglected, I haven’t even seen it in months but I justified that with the fact I have two Facebook accounts. Truth be told, my daughter has taken over one of those accounts and other? Well, I connected it to my Twitter account so it could at least get to display the occasional tweet. Secondhand attention, I know.

But then I haven’t spent much time with Twitter lately either.

Is the affair waning?

No. I love Social media as much as I always have and I’m jealous of those writers who seem to write, edit and have a full, satisfying relationship with Social media. I’m afraid I just don’t have the skills it takes to juggle everything.

I haven’t even mentioned how neglected my blogs are feeling lately, and my website. Oh, my. I hope you’re visiting it, because I just haven’t had the chance.

Yesterday, I was eyeing the link to Romance Divas with yearning. It’s been too long since we spent time together and I barely got to know Coffeetime Romance, but I know we could hit it off. Goodreads? I think Goodreads isn’t speaking to me any longer. I get the occasional update but I haven’t had a chance to reply in so long, I fear the relationship has faltered.

I know every relationship requires time and effort, and perhaps I’m just not stretching myself quite thin enough. I've seriously considered taking a class to get to know Social media better. Maybe I'm just not using my time wisely.

Enough of about me. How is your relationship with Social media?
