At the time of this episode's production , there's a new social media platform , from Instagram to rival Twitter , and it's got the online world of buzzing . We'll see how all that goes , but all the commotion got me thinking . Social media has become such a significant part of our lives , from the way we communicate to the way we form our identities . It's a digital reflection of ourselves , but is it truly accurate ? Today , we'll be jamming to five journal prompts to examine the role of social media in our lives and what our online presence says about us . So go ahead and grab your journal , because here comes your first prompt . Write about your relationship with social media . Do you feel a sense of connection or do you find it overwhelming at times ? How much time do you spend on social media each day ? Is it more or less than you'd like ? Jot down your honest thoughts . Jot down your honest thoughts . Jot down your honest thoughts . Jot down your honest thoughts . Jot down your honest thoughts . Alright , now let's dive into the concept of digital identity . Our online presence is a carefully curated version of ourselves , where we control what we want to share and often it's the best moments that we choose to post .
