I post every weekday, but I didn't post yesterday. 
 No, yesterday was not some obscure holiday; it was a regular Monday.
 So why did I break my rule?
 
 I was on the road all day due to a family matter, and even though I have the tools to schedule posts in advance, I chose not to.
 
 So, why the silence? 
 Here's the thing:
 For me, social media isn't just about sharing wisdom, going viral, or racking up likes.
 
 My perspective on social media flipped on its head after doing podcast interviews with Shelley Goldstein and Karlyn Ankrom (check out the links in the comments).
 
 Social media is all about the CONVERSATIONS! 🗣️
 
 And, while asynchronous chats are done all the time on social media, I've committed to being present for the initial hours after posting so I can respond in a timely fashion.
  
 Dropping a post and disappearing now feels like saying something to someone and not sticking around to hear their response.
 
 I can't respond (safely) while driving. Hence, no post.
 
 I'm curious: do you agree with my thinking? 
 Or am I just hurting my social media rankings by being a purist? 🤔
