Social media detoxify



I think I was away from FB for about a year until September 2020 that I decided to come back. Away in the meaning that I actually deleted my account, not just only being away without any activities going on. 

It was a great decision until I realized that most people in the office has FB account and it's probably the only way to spread my work better than any other social media, isn't it? 

Why I deleted my FB account? I felt, at that time, that there's too much drama going on around me and I didn't feel like consuming any of that shit. Most important thing was, my privacy was intruded. I didn't feel like blocking anyone, keep blocking content I didn't wanna see or deleting anyone so I deleted myself instead. But I still have IG accounts, because I love photography. And I can follow only content I wanna see.

Why social media is so popular? it's where you can showoff, express your feeling, be yourself or not be yourself, etc. Is it good? Depends on how you're using it. Not everyone would want to know everything and everyone still want to express everything and believe anything. I went to a 5 stars hotel for expensive lunch seeing a table of big family enjoying their time, on their phone. I went to beaches seeing people enjoying their time, taking photos and selfies. Now you said you miss beaches. For what, taking photos and post on social media? Now that we are able to travel, with condition and requirement, people are still on their phone. I confuse, don't you do that at home all the time anyway? 

Why I came back to Facebook? As I mentioned, to spread my work for Brand Passion and Inclusion & Diversity Tribe that I involve. Do I need to come back to social media? Maybe not but at least it's a path to try. I just have to limit and remind myself why I'm back to Facebook. It's not that I want to show off anything nor that I want to show the world my private life. That's why you will not see much on my Facebook. And just don't make a fuss if I don't like any of your posts or comment anything. Facebook or any social media are just a platform, not a real life. It doesn't mean I hate you if I don't follow you, be friend with you or not liking your post or not commenting on your post. Don't take it personally honey. 

Will I delete my Facebook account again? I might, if I don't have any interested of it anymore. For now, I'm still ok to stay.

Dear Anita,  How are you doing? It has been a very long since we last spoke. I hope you are doing well and you are not being so hard to yourself. I watched a movie "The Choice" by Nicholas Sparks today. You know how I love movies adopted by his books. It is always about Love and Life. To be honest, I have never read any of his books but watching all the movies, I should start a new collection of books.  What I want to tell you today is, life is always about choices. You choose your own life. You choose to be happy with what you do, who you are with or where you want to be. What I am about to tell you is, do whatever make you happy. Life is too short to regret. A moment pass is a memory. What kind of memories would you like to remember?  You know what I miss? I miss those good times spending with family and friends. I miss a good conversion over a meal without an interruption of cell phone. Those technology can really ruin a real social life, I meant a real...

Anxiety attack...are you kidding?

Have you ever noticed that since the pandemic, or maybe long before, you'd hear the word "Anxiety attack" and you'd be wondering "What the heck is that?!" or "Are you serious?" it sounds like a joke if someone told you that they have an anxiety attack because this is all so new to you. But believe me, I'm not kidding. Before I'd go any further, let's see what is anxiety... What is anxiety? (https://www.helpguide.org/articles/anxiety/anxiety-disorders-and-anxiety-attacks.htm) Anxiety is a normal reaction to danger, the body’s automatic fight-or-flight response that is triggered when you feel threatened, under pressure, or facing a challenging situation, such as a job interview, exam, or first date. In moderation, anxiety isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It can help you to stay alert and focused, spur you to action, and motivate you to solve problems. But when anxiety is constant or overwhelming—when worries and fears interfere with your re...

Friend...

Friend... In the morning of 5th August I received a phone call. I lost my good friend. I shall leave her story the way everyone remember her. With her generous heart, she will be remembered and loved always. But what I regretted was I wasn't a really good friend to her, I'm sorry my dear. The event hit me, to find the meaning of friend. What kind of friend you have and what kind of friend you are? "False friend is easy to find but faithful friend is rare." I get that from Thai proverb, could be translated in different way. It's true indeed but how do you know what type of friend they are? You will just never know until they reveal their true color. There's a kind of friend who will run to you every time you say you need them. There's a kind of friend who can put up with all that non sense and stupid shit you have done. There's kind of friend who can make you laugh through tears. There's a kind of friend who loves partying and everything t...
