My new Obsession!
The new obsession!
Social media has rolled over our life in a very short time and that's very interesting yet scary. Some years back when social media started, I was very anti towards it. When my husband @shahzad-ansari told me he wanted to open a Facebook account I strictly told him not to do that. He tried to convince me that this was only for our family overseas and for our nearest friend, so that they can see pics of our kids and follow us. It took some years and when I started to learn about facebook we agreed to open an account.
From a very young age I liked reading informative articles instead of novels and stories. The good thing is that all the information we used to get from newspapers, libraries and from other resources, can now be reached very easily on websites, facebook, instagram and youtube. You can now get knowledge by sitting at home which is absolutely great.
There are many good things you can learn from social media and if you are capable of learning and helping others that's even better. But with all this social media goodies comes great responsibilities. My husband at that time told me and now also tells the kids. Only you are responsible for what you post on any social media channel and what kind of information you want to spread.
Getting in to youtube videos
Last year when we were about to shift to a new apartment. I started searching for tips on how to pack for moving on youtube.
It's not that I don't have any experience in moving, we have shifted 4 times in our 18 years of marriage. I just wanted to know if there was something new I could learn. I like to learn new storage ideas, packing ideas and watch other videos that can help me learn things for my personal use. And soon I realized that it was something in these videos that was satisfying. I could sit for hours with my daughter @ilma-ansari and watch all these videos on home makeovers, moving ideas, decoration ideas, etc.
Before picture!
After picture, Ilma painted this for her drawer, to put small things.
@ilma-ansari used an emety bottle to make a pencil holder
First I could not understand why people make these videos. The funny part is that some videos are even silent, which is really funny. But as I started to watch it I knew there was something exciting about it. It started to become my new obsession to watch all the home makeover videos and unwrapping videos etc.
For me a whole world of learning in the form of watching videos on youtube and searching on google has opened up. If you get an obsession like this, I dont think it's harmful. I have learned a lot of things just by watching different videos and reading online. Some of my abilities has also improved and made my life much easier.
I am very happy about my new learning sources. Do share with me if you also have any positive learning through social media.
Hope you have a happy learning, bye.

Thanks for sharing your story with us. I reminds me of my conversations with my sister about same topic. One day u felt uncomfortable sharing on Facebook and now you are sharing on hive and also earning from it. I would definitely say, It's a BIG achievement. You came too far. Best wishes to you and your family! Stay blessed.
One suggestion, edit your post to change @shahzad to @shahzad-ansari so people can follow him too if they want seeing your post. :)
Thanx for coming by 😊. But I still feel that sharing everything on Facebook or Instagram is not my thing. How I came to Hive has another story. My husband said one day to me that I have a lot of things I talk about and have alot to share with people who really want to listen and at the same time earn something. So he introduced me to Hive, I like to write so now I have my own platform where I can share my thoughts which gives me satisfaction. I agree with you many ppl would think the same about everything which is new ❤️
I remember reading that too. :)
You mentioned about your hive journey atleast 2 times on hive in different posts.
Indeed, I check your posts time to time just to make sure if I skipped reading any. Whenever u make a post or any other Pakistani I get a notification.
You are blessed to have a sweet husband like shahzad who not only cares about his family but also about his positive impacts in society. I love to read about your family. :)
Thank you @dlmmqb, oh maybe Ive mentioned it to many times now 😋. Yeh you are right I do have nice husband and kids who support me in every way and that I am greatful for. Nice to hear that you have a notification on Pakistanis 😊.
You can also get notified whenever a whitelisted Pakistani makes a post. Just ask your husband about "Hive Pakistan Post Bot". I believe he will explain you better. Once u start enjoying Pakistani creators on hive, we feel like our hosting fees and development fees were worth it. :)
With those videos our children can learn with us about many useful things but we have to be careful about the access because in the internet is everything good and bad, we share to our children but protecting them at the same time. Thanks for sharing
U R absolutely right, its a very dangerous thing for kids if the parents dont have an eye on them God knows what they will find there. But its good that you can have a parent control you can use. Thanx for commenting on my post, have a nice day 🌞
