Sad With Social Media

I'm a thinker. An over thinker, if you will.  And lately my thoughts have been constant regarding the change that social media has imparted on the way we communicate with others.  Of late, I haven't been satisfied with the response, conversations, attention that my social media has yielded for me.  I'm sure it's partly (if not mostly) my responsibility revolving around the content I create for social media audiences.  Though; too, I think it's just the nature of the beast that is social media and how it has lessened the attention spans of the world. 


I can't help but get discouraged when I speak about a really important topic (to me at least) and I get little to no response or flat out ignored by so-called "supporters".  I don't know if I have branded myself as one dimensional, but I'd really like to find a balance between all the things I am passionate about and not be so one dimensional.

I want to evoke emotion that in turns changes the way people view all sorts of things from something as "shallow" as fashion to something as life changing as suicide.  Though, I know that some of my audience care not about the latter.  I think bridging the gap in some way (if possible) would be what I would be satisfied with.  It's just my passions are so opposite from each other that it seems there is no common ground.

As a creative, I still haven't learned how to incorporate all my passions broadly to attract the audience I'd like.  An audience that not only views but co-creates with me.  Ideally I want to GET from followers, subscribers, readers as much as I GIVE to them. 

Co-creators...Hmmm, I just thought of that notion.  But yes, that is the type of audience I want from social media.
