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.
