My top social media distractions

How many times have you found yourself scrolling through social media apps when you should be getting important work done? I never realized how fast time passes once you aimlessly start scrolling through Instagram or Facebook.

I initially used to watch a crazy amount of BuzzFeed videos whether they were about weird conspiracy theories, easy 1minute mug cake recipes or taking random quizzes to know what type of bread I am! I’m sure most of us are guilty of doing that but it’s so addicting there’s really no way out of it!

I remember this one time I just couldn’t help but feel distracted and thought maybe a 5-minute scroll on Facebook will help me get back on track. Little did I know those harmless 5minutes would turn into a solid 2 hours of nonstop scrolling! I actually reached the end of my Facebook page which is when I realized how long I procrastinated. I didn't regret doing that though! I ended up watching soap-cutting videos as I had already wasted half my day.

Although if I’m being honest, scrolling isn’t all that bad. Sometimes you get to know what’s going on in the world and other times you’ll get to encounter new memes which basically is a win-win situation...isn’t it?

I think for the most part it’s done habitually, unconsciously opening apps even when there is nothing new to look at. In my opinion, just the satisfaction of knowing you can scroll for hours is what makes it so addictive. And I for one don’t feel guilty about it no matter what my situation is. I mean if it can make you laugh then why stop it... right? :)

Life as we know it.

The term YOLO sounds so simple yet so particularly deep. Sure, we live only once but we also experience each day once which sounds bizarre considering we live every day in the same pattern. Every day that we live, every minute that passes by never comes back almost like we’ll never relive today again even if tomorrow feels the same! This makes me wonder how a small improvement to a 24 hour day can change the way we live it. I sometimes find myself pondering life. How it’s the perfect balance of consistency and inconsistency, how one decision made today can completely alter the route of your life the next day. It’s the perception of realizing that there are so many people in this world who we’ll never know, who will never have any impact on us or whose life we’ll never be a part of. It’s the notion that no matter how slow or fast time flies, it’s always somehow moving forward and never stationary. It’s the awareness that happiness can be attained if we’re pleased with all

Feelings ~ 5/9/23

Isn't life truly fascinating? It's remarkable how a single moment in a person's life can alter what seems predetermined as fate and destiny, yet in our eyes, it's merely a moment of interchangeable paths – that instance when life takes an unexpected yet incredibly beautiful turn. These are the moments that, once entered, leave us forever changed. Perhaps it's destiny gently guiding events towards a perfect ending. There's a yearning for home and belonging, even in places that no longer hold that feeling. Not because of sad events, but because moments evolve into cherished memories, and life has ushered us along a different path. These are the moments that beckon reflection. As you sit in that exact spot, in the same seat, you can't help but wonder how those moments have transformed into memories, sometimes overlooked as life's hustle takes center stage. Isn't it beautiful how one ordinary step on an average day, at the most ordinary time, can become

A writing discovery.

So I've been having difficulties coming up with a blog topic, then I figured why not talk about that? When I initially started writing, I had this idea in my head that the things I write should always have a purpose and be of an excellent caliber, but as time passed, I realized that wasn't always the case. Blogging does not always have to be about discussing things that need to be heard by the majority. To be realistic, it can be as straightforward as writing about your day. Blogging, in my perspective, is essentially open-access journaling. We express our feelings simply by talking about them, and we receive a response that usually goes something like "I can absolutely empathize with this". There's something restorative about writing, even if it's about the most illogical of subjects. It's the human connection we feel while discussing significant moments in our lives that might have a completely different impact on someone else depending on where that m
