Overload Saturated

Kylie Jenner and the world famous @world_record_egg. Swipe after swipe - food, selfie, news, food, selfie, news, selfie, selfie. This is the visual media that saturates our digital world, chosen from the top searches of our most used social media apps. Now this isn't close to what I had imagined this set of photos would include — but it is a reflection of the internet. 

The way we process news has a lot to do with how we take it in. We ground our humor in memes and respond to tragedies with “it’s fine, everything’s fine.” Mixed in with other people's lunches, riches, and best moments. In a generation of self care, we are told to love ourselves — while being targeted with content and comparison, and hearing the news of places seemingly far from here. More than the news that pick up hashtag waves and celebrity endorsements. We have to process our reality yet we're constantly seeking and swiping - aimlessly. Maybe we're just drawn to the light. In the end, we’re the ones who give it power in and over our daily lives.
