Someone told me recently... You should tell your story. YOU are an influencer. I kind of looked at them sideways like "Where did you get that from?" They say my experiences may help young women in this world. I thought to myself "Oh, so I am now at the point in my life where my story should start with "back in my day". "
I do not think the experiences I've had would help todays woman. She has so many more challenges with interactions and meeting people. Everything is virtual now. Meeting someone in real life is almost unheard of anymore. The world is a bit more scarier as information is more easily found. Gone are the days of remaining anonymous or mysterious. Yet are they really that different?
Back in my day, before the socia media norms of myspace, FB, Twitter..... you could write a story online, make a comment or even meet people, yet maintain the safety of your information based on what you shared. Nowadays, it doesn't take long to find someone.
Just search their username... They overshared somewhere. Follow the trail on their social media pages.
This person will find your birthday for fun. She wont share your personal information, but she will prove that no one is safe. It is kind of fun to watch.
What I am getting at is, my experiences and situations may be similar, but how they are overcome is vastly different. Would someone just as easily do what I did "Back in my day"
