I paused my Instagram for five days LOL

I think most of you guys already knew that I ‘fasted’ from Instagram a few weeks ago. I am warning you this writing is ironic and not going to inspire you to uninstall the app the time you finish to read this.  I planned to quit Instagram for seven days but I pathetically lost and only managed to do it only for five days. Originally, I did it because I felt like my life was a complete mess. I had this seriously huge pile of tasks waiting to be done but I just couldn’t finish them and all I did was scrolling through my phone. It was actually very frustrating and I just spontaneously deleted the application.

The five days I’ve been through without Instagram is absolutely not life changing, that I can tell you. Lol. If there’s one thing to learn is it is about myself and how much I’m already consumed with that social media. For instance, when I was doing the smallest activity like eating out with my friends, I unconsciously grabbed my phone and wanted to update it to the social media. Or when I found something funny, or a good song, I felt the urge to share. This proves that I’ve succumbed this far to the digital social media, as if my life is missing something if I don’t share my life with the rest of the world. And to make it not any better, I instead made a new Twitter account to share the random thoughts and unnecessary rants. Now, I have reopened my Instagram and been using it no less and a Twitter account to manage J

Stress in a Capitalistic World, Part II : Value in Society, Value in Yourself

Most of the articles I relate to call what I'm experiencing a "burnt-out". It's different from feeling tired after working 24 hours on a useless paper or homework. It's not something that can be alleviated with relaxation. Although the term is mostly use to describe fatigue simply caused by overwork, some psychologists disagree and so do I. The easiest way to analyse this is finding the root of why people push themselves to prioritize work over all else anyway? Why can't they relax, meditate, take a vacation, and why are all those solutions  useless ? It's because they literally can't . If they do, the attempts will only make them worsen their anxiousness of possible repercussions. There's this compulsive desire, an overarching anxiety that whatever you do, however you improve, you are never satisfied. Got a promotion? There's a higher position. Became the CEO? You have to expand the business. And so on, and so on, and it never stops. And ...

Why I Started Writing Again

PROMPTS :: Your writing journey. Since I started high school I stopped writing, I got too busy preparing for the 6 rounds of exams I ended up taking. And when I started Uni, things just got busier. Such a big difference from my junior high days, I wrote 4-7 journal entries for English class, much like this one. And I found that I miss writing, though I couldn’t say that my pieces are anything life changing to the readers, but to me it means something. Because with writing I get to say things I don’t usually get to say out loud. Be it because I was too shy, I was insecure about my position, I might hurt the person I was speaking to, or I haven’t got the words at the time. Writing gave me so much freedom in terms of access to my own brain. Because when I write I’m usually not doing anything else, and I get to focus on my own thought. Like having a conversation with yourself. And this opens up so many sides of yourself you don’t normally get to know. It’s liberating in a w...
