Waiting For the Rinse Cycle to Complete

Social media doesn't turn a person into a hero or a fraud; it amplifies who they already are.

The truth about who people are - good or bad, flexible or legalistic, expert or charlatan, smart or not the brightest crayon in the box, and everything in between - will all come out in the wash in due time.

The part that requires patience is waiting for the rinse cycle to complete.

Someone told me the 'rinse cycle' analogy a couple of years ago and it's one of my favorites. Nicely done in applying it to this post, and I totally agree. Whoever you are, social media can put it on steroids. As in 'creative thinker, on steroids', or 'imbecile, on steroids'. And yes, we know who you are.

Great work Liene!
