I dislike Social Media

Hello again! I have good news and some thoughts for this blog. The good news is that I am enrolled for the 2nd semester!!! I am excited and not at the same time. I am catching up with some activities that my blockmates have done for the past few weeks this weekend. Some thoughts that I want to share for this blog is about disliking social media. I have used social media a lot on a daily basis since my freshman year in Junior High; those were golden times but there are a lot of cons that weighs the pros. I've been thinking of quitting Instagram and just access Twitter on a browser when I want to. But I feel like I'm gonna get rid of it too, eventually. I don't use Reddit much and I think I'll just keep that; along with Quora too. My goal is that I can muster up the courage to delete altogether without hitting FOMOs before I hit my 20s. I don't have any issues with YouTube. I grew up watching YouTube and I learned and be entertained from having the app for years. I just hate the addiction of doom-scrolling even though when I am against it. It makes me feel icky about it and about myself; especially when I realize that I am doom-scrolling. I hate reels too. I hate short form videos. Too much edited videos I watched in the past is overstimulating sometimes. To be quite frank, I am also writing this blog so I can look back and what I think of social media and so for my future use, I'll be able to take some actions with more clarity to make a decision.

I will write more updates in the future but for now, I'll leave it there. As I grow older, I sort of wish I could go back to the days that things were a little more easier. But sadly, that is not possible so I still need to face reality head on. I try not to be too optimistic but I just want to live a bit more simpler life to make things tolerable and that I could say someday that I've lived life the way I wanted to.
