Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. —1 Corinthians 9:24
Recently, I saw this trend called Ins and Outs, going around on social media. I don’t like participating in fashion trends much less social media trends.
However, as I read people’s 2024 Ins and Outs lists, I found it all to be very fascinating. It felt like I was truly getting to know people outside of the images they were posting.
Even though this trend is in a list format, I thought it was refreshing to see after years of short or emoji-only captions.
Comments/responses were more thoughtful instead of the usual LOLs or emojis too!
A lot of it was health-related, some were fashion-related while other things were about lifestyle choices like family and finances.
One thing all these lists boiled down to was drawing boundaries. And I LOVED seeing people publicly share their boundaries.
Kind of like a “you stay in your lane and I’ll stay in my lane” kind of mutual respect.
That said, while I’m never one to hop on the “trend train,” this one was too good not to turn into a blog article to share!
Here are my 2024 Ins and Outs:
2024 INs
