The '#' trend

The '#' trend has taken over our lives where there is a certain urge to document everything and share it with some strangers on social media. I wont deny that i am not privy to it. I have done it too. but sometimes I fail to understand the certain urge to do so frequently.
I find that a lot of things are interconnected. There are certain things to consider
1. Loneliness
    We are flooded with messages from friends all over every platform of social media and yet we find hardly any one to share our actual thoughts. besides we have not kept our private life private anymore where you can check out everything that a person goes through on Facebook, Instagram etc.
2. Demand for high end phones
     mind it the demand for high end phones is seldom for its actual utility and more for the quality of camera, Enough space to hold the numerous snaps and the RAM to process everything quickly and to be able to score various platforms to #share the life.
3. Are we really this desirable?
   most importantly this trend that makes us want to share everything , does it make us more desirable or just to show the other person, how lovable and popular we are.
There was a movie made on this- The protagonist falls in love with a girl in the cafe and follows whatever she does by her posts. and in the end is able to make her fall in love. But he soon discovers, she merely posts them; it is only partially true.
So what are we actually doing with this # ?
putting a sign in front does not make it worth talking about.
#Declaring #it #to #the #world!
As if from this moment ago, your life was different!
