I want to fade away

Can we please stop associating being a good person with how much you're willing to suffer in silence for other people? You can be a kind person and still say "no, I don't have the time/energy to help you with that." You can be a kind person and still say "this makes me uncomfortable, please stop." You can be a kind person and still say "I disagree and here's why." You can be kind and still say "I'm not okay with this." Being kind is about treating people with kindness and respect, not about being the human equivalent of a doormat!

I feel so at peace getting rid of all my socials like snap, IG, fb, etc., and just keeping tumblr cause this space is legit so positive (for me), there’s no one trying to be better than anyone, no competition, hate, etc., like we’re all just being ourselves and looking at cute cats and promoting ray ban sales.

This to be honest is soo true.

your life hasn’t been completed until you see giraffes fighting 

you’re welcome

this is your friendly reminder that although social media is popular and everyone seems to have it, you shouldn’t feel pressured to keep up and you don’t have to be there for everything. it’s okay if you just watch youtube videos and tik toks and to delete instagram whenever it bores you or makes you feel insecure or anxious. there’s a world out there you’re allowed to experience without being part of this online culture.

Social media is a dangerous place for a person who doesn’t truly know themselves. You’ll end up having other people’s opinion as your own if you’re a type that’s easy to persuade.

I used to think that having lots of opinions from others would help me better in making my decisions, so I always try to read every single thing that is related to me in Twitter/Instagram (plus I love to read, so I don’t really feel like wasting my time or anything when I spent it on reading stuffs)

But as I learnt and move forward in life, I realised that it was such a dumb thing to do. Having to incorporate other people’s opinion into your own life, like wth was I thinking?? I realised that I actually abandoned my own life principle by following the thoughts from social media instead of my own. Which leads me to feel anxious and restless all the freaking time.

The main key here is to actually stick to your own principle. If you feel like the stuffs you read from anywhere is aligned with your principle, then it is okay to take it in. But if it is the opposite, you should know on how to scroll it past and don’t let it influenced you. It’s as simple as that but it’s so hard to master it because at times you eventually fell for it too.

Eventhough I know what I want and understood what I need in my life now, there’s still no guarantee that I won’t fall into social media trap in the future. That’s why I’m slowly quitting some of it such as Twitter & Insta (since I spent most of my time on those 2 previously). I don’t feel regretful at all, just a tiny bit sad since I will miss a lot of updates regarding lots of things especially bout my friends. But I can always catch it up thru some other medium which is way more convenient & less distracting.

Be true to yourself, only focus on things that you truly want and never let others decide on how to live your life. It’s okay if you still doesn’t know what you truly want in life, just don’t get easily swayed and try to find motivation and prioritise on things that inspire you. Never forget to be grateful with what you have currently, keep close connection with people who love you and encourage you to be better in all aspects. That is all that matter in order for you to have a happy and grounded life.

Some stranger somewhere still remembers you because you were kind to them when no one else was.
