Social Media & Life Competition

 Is life a competition with others ? 


No, it isnt


The only competitor is yourself , and the person/entity you should ever compare yourself to is your past self.


You are worth it and are doing well.


Show gratitude to everything you own now, your body, your mind, your living condition, everything.


To be alive is a blessing and you have the control to change anything in your life. You have the freedom and you have the ability.


Please believe in yourself and in what you can achieve.


Please Have Faith and Hope for a brighter future.


To who ever am reading this now, May the times you feel like suffocating and where you see only darkness and no light, may you remember that at anytime that you are not alone and light will be shine to  your life path in the near future and at each moment there is someone on earth and even up in heaven that is hoping that your life will get better and It will.


It will get better .


So don't give up.


Don't ever give up on your life. 


Regards

Jingru Quah. :)

Drugs & The Internet



I swear Lauv has one of the greatest meaningful and smooth song I ever heard in this generation now.

Got hooked to I'm So Tired and now Drugs & The Internet?

I mean how could a song contains such summarised and meaningful lyrics while being such rhythmical.

Quotes from:
https://genius.com/Lauv-drugs-and-the-internet-lyrics

Drugs & The Internet” is Lauv revealing his personal struggles with social media and anxiety. Earlier in 2019, he revealed on Twitter that he had personally struggled with anxiety and depression after finishing his music from “I met you when I was 18.”and resorted to medication as suggested by his therapist. During this time he was lightly active on social media.

I started to recognize my obsessive bad thoughts and depression was not based on rational events or thinking. I still went to the dark places and had days where I could do little but stay in my bed and obsess.

After, he says he began to process things differently and slowly began to fall back in love with creating music.

I started being able to write songs again. Feelings of general emptiness, anxiety, and doubt began to be replaced with this extreme gratitude.



The lyrics are so relatable and talk about social issues too.



I mean nowadays social media addiction is constantly on a rise. #MeToo


Anxiety and depression are too. So speak up. Talk and confide in someone you can talk to and let it all out. Don't keep the dark thoughts to yourself and suffer.

Be well, Be positive. *Insert hearts*
