Anyone else behind the times?

Sometimes I feel like I could almost refer to myself as a millennial boomer in the sense that I'm slowly falling further and further behind in the realm of technology. I literally just spent the better part of 20 minutes consulting my sister on how to make an Instagram story with the little templates where you can circle/choose this or that and repost it for your friends to do. I have it half figured out but I'm still just like "huh????" I see some people's stories and I'm just thinking to myself "how in the holy fuck did you do all that??" I don't know why it's such a hard concept for me, but I'm sure it isn't really helpful that I don't integrate too much into social media. I make a post once every 3 months and it's usually something to do with my cats. If it weren't for me liking other people's posts, I'm sure anyone that cared to pay attention to my IG would think I fell off the face of the earth. Granted, they wouldn't really be wrong but I just can't imagine myself making regular posts. I don't have anything interesting to say and I don't take pictures often unless they are of my cats. That's why I made them their own IG and even then, I don't post for them that much but definitely more often than my own personal account.

I don't know if it's the case with other people's moms but our mom loves to do random quizzes and posts on Facebook and will tag my sister and me just about daily on random shit and I love it but it's definitely a parent thing, I think. As of recently, I have found myself doing that to my sister but usually with posts I see on Instagram of things relating to meme accounts or 90's kids content. She has mentioned it before but I really am slowly turning into my mother, or the equivalent of a person in their 50's using social media. My brain and body are definitely at least 20+ years older than my biological age. Should I bother to learn how to use social media or just continue in my oblivious life never having made an Instagram story after having an account for 7-8 years? I probably should learn how to do so if I ever plan to do something with this blog or a podcast or anything of the like but I just can't see people caring that much to watch what I'm doing or posting on a regular basis. I guess I'll never know if I don't try and maybe if I did post more regularly, I would get more engagement with my followers and maybe gain some sort of following....? Who knows. I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. Just ignore me :P

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
