エヴァンジェリン・リリーのインスタグラム(evangelinelillyofficial) - 7月15日 09時24分

Part 1 of 2: Do you ever get the feeling, these days that, unless you have 2 million followers on Instagram, nobody hears you, that nobody cares what you think and that that means you are not an “influencer”? I know I do. I have started to allow a lie to creep into my subconsiounce…a lie that says “what you do and say on social media and in the press is more powerful and more important than what you do and say in your own home, your own community, in your friendships and in your family.” Somewhere along the way I bought into this big lie that my Big Voice matters so much more than my Little Voice.
Part of that lie is believing that the biggest voices are actually representing the “norm” – which, today, is a disturbing idea. And yet, I am fairly certain that the loudest voices actually represent the most obscure opinions and NOT the feelings of most of us “Little Voices”. How can I be so certain?  Because of the amount of individual, private conversations that I have with the people I actually know - and they resoundingly do not sound like those voices that are dominating the current public discourse. Most people I know are much kinder, and understand much more about nuance, gray areas and grace…which is exactly why our “little conversations” are so paramount to the health and future of our society.

Never think, even for a second, that the quiet debate you and your spouse had, on your ONE date this month, over a political stance, is pointless and destructive. That discourse is the most important of them all…the one between two people who are not willing to just dismiss the “other” as no more than their point of view, but who know them as a complete human being with complicated frailties and inspiring strengths. Please don’t shy away from that awkward moment at PTA, or bible study, or book club, or staff meeting, or baseball practice where you suddenly realize that you and another person hold opposite opinions on something really important, only to go back home to your computer or your phone and say everything you bottled up in that uncomfortable moment. Say it.  Out loud. Then and there. Kindly and boldly. And then listen to their response. (Con’t...)

rickvhattum Thank you @evangelinelillyofficial . I silently watch your posts and often see you correspond with your followers. It’s mind blowing that many of these celebrities and influencers post for their millions of followers, earn their living off of them, but refuse to reply to “John Smith” just because he has 151 followers and is missing the blue certified check next to their name, but when an influencer or other celebrity comments, you see them comment back instantly. We all get the fact that plenty of these folks are busy and partially make a living by being active on social media, but maybe they should shop less selectively in the comment sections based on popularity and focus on the ones who truly have to say something, or simply spread their love. So thank you for being one of “us”, thank you for your honest self-reflection in realizing that you and I are equal, besides this awesome job you have and worked your ass off for. Thank you for engaging with us. It does not go unnoticed. You are a true influencer. ❤️

aulereb I like listening, a lot. I practice listening to myself in silence everyday and go on listening to the people out there, from my dearest ones to the employees at the supermarket register. The look on people’s faces when you interact with them about what they’ve just told you is priceless. They just simply can’t believe they’ve been dedicated some time and attention. I have a pretty good feeling there are many lonely people out there, desperately seeking attention and real interaction. That’s why I rarely comment on social media, as I am still in doubt on whether it can be considered real-enough interaction. Anyway my feeling is building up one’s true critical spirit inevitably has to pass the test of mutual interaction. And that’s a constant test. Therefore, every voice matters in its on way and no constructive discussion, not even any attempt at starting one, is ever a loss of time. Sorry for the long post

jtphotofilm I have fallen into the same pattern at times. Not enough kind words and heart felt encouragement at home but often on here or with other people I meet. I have changed this, but only in the way I increase it at home, the rest, I think, I was getting kind of right. Since serious practice of mindfulness and spiritual awareness I can sometimes say my thoughts with confidence and without malice towards the opposite opinion of weighty topics. But not always. I will become better and try to lead by example. I love the sound of your spirit which you share here, filled with hope, authenticity, warmth and love. We so appreciate you and you’ve inspired me to be truer to myself, unapologetically. Thank you @evangelinelillyofficial making people smile inside from wherever we are in this beautiful world, is a precious gift, especially when it comes in a small voice x

clex74 Social media has helped eliminate human interaction while bridging gaps in some areas its opened them in others. People say the most horrible things on social media because it's easy to get away with hurting people because your anonymous or 5k miles away. I canceled my FB account months ago while most people cant live without it they have sacrificed right and wrong for convenience and addiction as most people cant live without it anymore. I only have IG now and I just like to read and see the pictures I rarely comment and I am almost never acknowledged which is fine but if people cant see the problems with social media and what it's doing to us as a society then it's only going to get worse.

wanderinghobbit ?? THIS. I've gone to that point where I just don't care what people think of me or my views anymore. This is the authentic me. And I'm not going to shy away of showing or voicing it. But ofc I will do it patiently and with respect to others, and calmly, and not condemning anyone. And what I learn from my Catholic learnings is that, we have to see the others as their whole person, not reducing them to only their views. The point is that you care for those people as your fellow humans. Not just weVSthem or "others". (lol LOST reference there ay) @evangelinelillyofficial More people need active listening and debating with empathy, and more people need to read James Hoggan's book ?

justgeorgecanusa @evangelinelillyofficial Confidence, patience, and truth are the keys to opening our very own rooms of contentment! These last few years, I’ve lost some friends due to being honest with whatever words I’ve had to use to explain whatever thoughts I’ve needed to share. It hurts at first. But I’ve accepted. The pain does go away. And I’ve been left with clearer pictures in my mind, stronger convictions in my soul, and more motivation to just ‘keep going’. Whatever it is, I’m a firm believer to ‘just say it’. They’ll be guilt, but isn’t the truth worth it? We have ONE life to live. This is it! So whatever opinions or thoughts you share Evangeline, believe in them! ✌??
