Question of the Day 2

“Has my hometown influenced me as a Person?”

This is tricky. I’m not a huge fan of my hometown, primarily because it’s gone to shit. I’ve officially been away from where I grew up long enough, that when I do go, I feel like an outsider.

Since I already have a general feeling of being an outsider, I guess it might be honest to say that my hometown has had some influence on me – I just had to move away to see it.

HollyStron United

Several years ago, I created this page, called “HollyStron United.”

Firstly, you may be wondering, how I even came up with the name. Well, I must confess, I engaged in a social experiment on social media, specifically FB. Let’s just say I had an alternate account that I used to see, first hand, what happens to pretty girls on social media. And the name is a combination of those alternate accounts. Now that I think about it, I failed to mention I had a couple of them.

On to the real reason for this page.. I wanted to get into photography (and still do). Specifically, I wanted to work pretty faces. HollyStron United was a means to showcase what I had done.

I’ve been unable to do any photography for ages, and I’d really like to get back into it. With the right support, I can get that goal back on track.

(purchase a few of our t-shirts, and maybe I can get a studio set up… and then the real fun can begin 😏)

“Question of the Day” 1

Today’s question: Do you act differently online than you do in real life?

I guess I do, in some way. I’m a little more bold than I am in person. In person, I try to keep my mouth shut. Sadly in the society we live in, if you don’t see it posted on social media, then it lacks relevance to others. Yes, I do use social media to relay my thoughts to those who should be listening. But it seems to be failing.

How about you? What are your thoughts about this question? And do you have any advice for me?
