I’m old. I grew up dunking my Oreos in milk before bed. I never, I never thought, I never thought I would be the old person who reacted like this!! Oreo Coca-Cola?!? What the..?? A Vanilla Coke re packaged for sales??? What the..? I don’t get it because I’m old.

When did I get old? For years thinking I was hip, ahead of the curve then… Oreo CocaCola comes along and I loose it. Seriously!!

It’s Oreo CocaCola that’s having me consider how social media has changed and how the hell did I make it to level 5 on Phaver. What the…

Social medias are different. I took a chance when Lens and Phaver came about and started with no followers, no idea how to use the platforms, and feelings of magnified invisibility. How did I get 5k followers on Lens? How did I get to level 5 on Phaver?

I just showed up. I’m consistent. I shared what was happening in my world. I was myself. I was afraid but posted anyway. I asked how to work the platforms on my posts!!
I found caring, authentic, good people and a thriving community of like minded people wanting to make a better place for everyone. I found patient and supportive people. Remember I may be older than your mom or I could be your grandma!!
Being seen, being accepted for who I am and nothing more. I posted, and joined communities. I engaged, liked posts, commented on post. I learned to comment and like early on posts and engage with active users.
Time zones. I learned time zones and set my alarm to be awake to post when those active users were posting. Crazy, I know but I met some of the best people and built some fabulous relationships.

As part of Monniverse community, I post a GM and engage and comment on stories and other members posts. As part of Phaver, I post in the Phaver Lagoon my posts of GM for Monniverse.

I accrued points and cred by being consciously aware of when and what to post, where to post and how much I posted. I did some spam shit posts and still do.

I’m old remember. I listened to you, the twenty somethings, and you were there for me. I want to be there for you too. People reposted and liked, mirrored my posts. Let me do that for you.
Keep posting or let’s keep Phavering or let’s fucking go, whatever you kids say now. Just show up, be consistent and post.

I’m a 64 year old mermaid under the sea in Monniverse and growing in the garden of Lens
