PROFESSIONAL YAP SESH INCOMINING!!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!!
This is a way off speaking to myself about IG Reels. I started using it a bit ago, and while I do use it as a time killer when I have nothing to do (which makes me miss the feeling of boredom but that's a different story), like waiting in line, etc., I find myself sometimes killing valuable time with it. Time I could spend studying, or practicing, composing, drawing.
On my SpaceHey pf I say: "Drawing, practicing, composing, or doing shit I hate", and it's true! I may get some level of gratification out of scrolling IG, but at the end of the day, doing unproductive stuff, or at least too much of it, doesn't make me feel good. Even if I'm tired. Even if I've had a long day and I don't have the energy to work, watching TV, or longer YT videos, while not productive, are a much healthier way of killing time. TV (at least good TV), has storylines, and characters, morals - messages, at the end. Most of the long YT videos I see are educational, or at least have some kind of takeaway. If you saw my fucking IG fyp, it has to be one of the worst. It's truly horendous.
I play 4 instruments, and compose, but I love drawing and especially animating. I saw Jaiden Animation's latest video, and it made me sad because I realise I won't have the time to have 2 passions. Then I go and watch IG Reels for 30 minutes. I'm not doing myself any favours.
Last I'm gonna say before I shut up is my exams I just finished today. Before one of them, I opened my textbook at like 9 the night before, and realised, "Holy shit. This is the first time I'm even touching this class". It's not just the IG Reels, but in general, the way I waste my time, and then complain to myself and lament over how there's not enough hours in a day for everything I love.
Ok I'm done. Sorry.
