Now that I am home, I have been trying to use pinterest (social media in general) as inspiration- not entertainment to "pass my time". When I start feeling envious I try to walk away and do something productive(read, make some art, play with my cats lol), it is a hard habit to break. s.s. bazodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623567882912849621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462842635384802780.post-75707670887449127182013-07-14T11:32:36.012-07:002013-07-14T11:32:36.012-07:00this is the exact reason i don't get on pinter...this is the exact reason i don't get on pinterest anymore. not only do i feel like it creates competition and a feeling of inadequacy, i also feel like it's killing personal creativity. nowadays it seems everyone wants/has/throws the same parties and weddings and outfits. we shouldn't be scouring pinterest for fresh ideas, we should be inspired by nature and our lives and the books we read and the people we surround ourselves with.<br />it's taking originality and making it common. <br />the internet is taking over our lives!!!!!!<br />and yet, i can't seem to get enough instagram or blogging. love hate indeed.Brissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16887834932421567389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462842635384802780.post-6813718025262572352013-07-10T00:26:07.153-07:002013-07-10T00:26:07.153-07:00insightful.

It's another social media profile for whatever purpose these profiles are made, enjoy what you have, learn to live providently and you will always have more than you could hope for! I've tried it, it works. I think that there is a grand scheme behind these things, coveting, causes spending, and over spending, causes stress, causes problems in marriages with finances, woman wanting more than a man can provide, man feels inadequate, roles are somewhat diminished, in some way or other like many things, there is always an underlying meaning and purpose to an end goal. And that is usually targeted at families and relationships. As pretty as it looks, it can have a negative affect on us more than we vouch for. I think you're onto something here.

It just scares me for the future generations. The world is losing simplicity and gaining envy and jealousy.

The anxiety comes from wanting to do everything I see but knowing I just can't. Like you, I have tried many of the things I see on Pinterest. But there's no way I can try everything.<br /><br />I think you're right -- everything in moderation. But Pinterest does get us carried away into lusting over what our neighbor has and not enjoying what we do have. And that's a crying shame.Jenna Footehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053037054553243481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462842635384802780.post-7180116576824096502013-07-04T00:13:23.078-07:002013-07-04T00:13:23.078-07:00I was thinking something similar about a babies fi...I was thinking something similar about a babies first birthday. Since I had one recently and my other daughter is barely two is fresh in my mind. People spend so much money on perfectky decorated smash cakes and elaborate 1st birthday outfits. While it's cute its pointless. The kid doesn't care. They ruin it anyway I try to stay away from a lot of the dream houses vacation spot pictures and expensive clothes that other people pin because it's not useful to me. I love a good hair post. I cook at least 2 pins a week sometime up to 5 like on a Sunday. For me it's more idle hands. Im used to working or doing school so I'm in this new chapter in life of a semi stay at home mom and once the kids are content I'm really at a loss. I can't start anything major for fear I'll have to stop in the middle. It's hard. Jessica and colbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654291076383625264noreply@blogger.com
