Social media has created jealous behavior over illusions.
Sadly some are envious of things, relationships & lifestyles that don’t even exist.

I don’t know why people are so keen to put the details of their private life in public;
They forget that invisibility is a superpower.

Biggest reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our real life with selective content shared on social media.

Social media has made us so eager to show and tell, but there is beauty in privacy.
Everything isn’t meant to be on display.
It’s perfectly fine to keep some things for you.

Don’t give them the privilege of knowing everything about you.
Just because it’s not posted on social media doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
Progress quietly.

If you want to feed the homeless, then feed the homeless.
But the moment you put it on social media, you are also feeding your ego.
Do good deeds & become a ghost after that.
That’s gonna feed your soul with GOOD KARMA.

Real life is so much more interesting than anything you will see on social media.
So please, just put down your phone and pick up your head.
Be present with the human beings you spend your time with, be present with yourself, be present with the world.
Don’t forget to live because you think you’re living through your phone.
Trust me when I say “real life is the feeling you get when you support your friends and see them doing the things that make their cells dance”.

Real life is 8am, wrapped within the limbs of someone who makes your stomach feel like it is buzzing with an electric kind of happiness.
Real life is sitting with yourself, in all of your depth and your decay, and not distracting your mind from all that is seeking to be felt within you.
Real life is gritty, it breaks you open, and it is meant to weather you in the most beautiful and meaningful ways, but you will miss all of that if you are looking down.
Always choose to look up.

Trust me, nobody is as successful as social media makes them look and nobody is as pretty as filters make them seem.
The only healthy and worthwhile comparison is you yesterday vs you today.
Focus on that.

Porn isn’t real sex.
Cocaine isn’t real energy.
Alcohol isn’t real courage.
Gambling isn’t real investing.
Caffeine isn’t real adrenaline.
Video games aren’t real life.
Social media isn’t really social.
Business books aren’t real business.
WORK TOWARDS BECOMING A REAL YOU.

Social media has made PERFECT look achievable, so now REAL has become undesirable.
Expecting perfection from life, friends, your partner, your career and from yourself is the enemy of happiness.
Instead of perfection, search for balance, contentment, fulfilment, and progress.
True me.. Tap-1081..
Social media is training us to compare our lives, instead of appreciating everything we are.
No wonder why everyone is always depressed.
Delete, unfollow, unfriend, block, erase, and disconnect from anyone and anything that robs you of your peace, love and happiness.
Not just on social media, but in real life too.
You don’t need to be around people who don’t see and appreciate your value.
(This video got something to do with the post above. I had to share it because this social media shit is hitting fan since a while, but people are hella ignorant to spot the faux pas.)

You can always start again.
Clean out your social media.
Create a new account for your new taste in music.
Study or work in a new city.
Start socialising with new people.
Choose a new signature scent and style and purge the outdated parts of yourself.
If you don’t like where you’re at & you don’t know what to do about it, simply try starting again.
THE BEST IS YET TO COME.

Social media has made us so eager to show and tell so many unnecessary things, but there is beauty in privacy.
Everything isn’t meant to be on display.
It’s perfectly fine to keep some things for you.
The older you get you start to see how important privacy is.
Not everyone needs to know what goes on with you.
Less drama.
More privacy.

My biggest flex is that nobody ever knows what’s really going on in my life. Where I am, who I am with, or my next move, unless I make it known.
Privacy is my luxury.
Privacy is my peace.

Few ways you can express how you feel towards someone;
1. I love you.
2. I need you.
3. I want you.
4. I want to be with you.
5. I don’t want to be without you.
6. I can’t live without you.
7. I miss you.
NEED, needs can be met somewhere else & being needy means being weak as well.
LOVE, this word is highly misused by people & especially someone like me needs a year to trust after a year of healing.
WANT is my favourite & number-3 is my pick out of all these 7.
WANT is that animalistic desire inside.
Which means i know i have few suitors/options, but who cares because it’s you and just you that i WANT for myself.
In case you love someone, remind them constantly & consistently that YOU WANT THEM.

Last time someone said “I WANT YOU” to me was on my birthday.
I haven’t replied that till now.
Never rushed towards anyone.
Never allowed anyone to rush towards me either.
The simple reason is;
“If someone is investing their time & energy on me, that person deserves a whole TAP”.
I am that kind of a person who hides nothing.
My only secrets are my bank account/credit card pin or my email/social media account passwords.
And right now, i am still in that phase of healing i mentioned above.
Whenever i say “LIONESS” in my posts, it’s my appreciation to that person who understands where i am coming from & why.
Appreciated for picking/dropping me at airport.
Appreciated for taking me out to my favourite brunch.
Appreciated for buying me a pair of white vans kicks after watching squid games.
Appreciated for helping me with carwash.
Appreciated for typing my thesis.
Very few people come with a clean heart & no stupid outlandish expectations.
So LIONESS, Like your favourite alphabet is T, my favourite word is “APPRECIATION”.
Rest all are a LEO-LEO thing i guess.😜
Every relationship of your life is a major investment of time & energy.
Take your sweet time, that says all about who’s who.

Let me shine light on this issue of “SMARTPHONE ADDICTION”. Just ask yourself “how many of you are starting and ending the day on your phone!!”. Most people are inseparable from their phones. Sometimes this type of connection can be more harmful than helpful, especially at the beginning and end of your day. It’s easy to form the habit of picking up your phone when you wake up and end the day scrolling. Many people even charge their phones right next to their beds.

But here the problem is emails, to do lists, social media feeds, games and everything else is just creating a barrage of distractions and ideas that cloud your mind creating no good outcome. For the sake of your mental well-being at least try to minimize technology as you start and end your day.

Being observant is fun, once in a while just enjoy sitting back. Just observing everything around you, crazy pretensious people, the constant postings on social media, the scandals and disrespectful behavior of actors/politicians/government officials, all may split you off because there is more to life. So just take a break, observe everything & keep on reminding yourself that; you must never become something this level of mediocre one day.

We must believe in being a true self, first you be the person you expect to welcome to your life, radiate the energy you want to be around. Learn to be humble and encouraging to all, but don’t put your time and trust if people don’t deserve. I have a simple word for it, KARMA & I do believe in it. So, be observant to not make similar stupid mistakes & create GOOD KARMA.

How many times have you felt losing your mojo towards people pretty quick!! Not talking about just some romantic bullshit, i am talking about friends or acquaintances. People turn boring when they stop adding some value/goodness to our life. Most think their social media presence & possessions are attractive. I low-key hate every single one who wants to build clout over instagram or tiktok just by following some trend, they are all generic crap in my eyes. Every pretty face will be replaced by another prettier face one day, that’s the reality of our world.
Want to show me you are fun & exciting!?! Let’s talk business, money, growth, technology, automobile, literature, workout, baking, real estate, career plans or if it’s a casual conversation tell me your taste in music with why so!! Life is small & exciting if you are on a journey to achieve something. Your goals make you gorgeous in my eyes. The same life can feel long & boring if you get along with people who don’t have much going on, same applicable on you for that matter. At the end i can say; people remain boring & mediocre out of own choice, it’s not any other person’s responsibility to point out that nonsense. Figure out & fetch your dreams. Life is fun, let it be.

How real is FOMO!?! Believing others are better off. The common saying “the grass is greener on the other side” can feel painfully true, especially in our modern world of influencers, social media and the fear of missing out associated to it. It’s common for people to present their lives online in a way that depicts only the best, the most glamorous pets, exotic trips, luxury purchases, a wild success. But sometimes glamour is entirely false, some people are more likely to lie online than in person. Although some may lie to protect their privacy, many invent stories to convince their followers that they’re living a spectacular life when they’re entirely ordinary. This delusion often convinces others that they are somehow failing at the game of life. Even worse, it causes self-blame and feelings of isolation. Know that most people don’t have it as good as they make it seem on social media.

Everyone experiences struggle and imperfection. If they say otherwise, they’re lying. Let go of the belief that you’re worse off than other people. Having what you think other people possess is not the solution. That desire is often a source of unhappiness. You are amazing on your own, your only competition & motivation should be a better version of you.

Instant Gratification & HOW IT’S KILLING OUR SOCIETY!!
(If you don’t want to read something about my past personal experiences & jump to the heading of the post directly, skip first 3 paragraphs).
“Reject, V-step, Indian step, Reebok, Dougie, Robocop & C-walk”. Before these words start confusing you, let me clear they all are some forms of hip-hop dance moves. Coming to that reason why I mentioned something stupid like this in such a serious topic. To be a unique you, you either need to be better or different in a good way, this paragraph is about how different/impossible I am. I wasn’t a great student in my high-school/engineering college days because I was hella influenced by “how internet works” & step-up movies/hip-hop music. Again i was not a good student but a good scorer, still an amazing A+ (80%+) in entire student life. My interest for making own money got stronger which pushed focus towards freelancing projects related to some software development & little bit related to mechanical engineering tools like CAD/CAM, not gonna discuss all these failures/success related to my teen days. I value education & I am still pursuing my doctorate after master’s in business administration. I will remain a student forever. Writing this post about my teen & early twenty days while I am still in my twenties.
So why I mentioned those dance forms!! Like any young kid, even I wanted three things in common; “GOOD GRADES, GOOD CLOTHES/KICKS, GOOD LOOKS”. GOOD GRADES to make parents happy. GOOD CLOTHES/SNEAKERS to make friends jealous. GOOD LOOKS to woo/wow the hottest girl around. At the end, even when that was falling short my interests/hobbies/skills played a key role to move me towards what I desired. My interests in chess, robotics, dance, music, cooking, coding, piano, gym, boxing, trekking, skateboarding & surfing helped me get everything I wanted because of my PERSISTENCE. To attend an interschool essay/debate, compete at state-level chess, give speech in a seminar/conference, drive 200 kilometres for mountain climbing, walk 9 kilometres for finishing hiking/trekking, build robots to fight in engineering fests, woo that senior grade curly hair fit af light-skin girl with my b-boying dance moves before eating her entire summer vacation nights (during my A levels), all were a time consuming process and I was/am always persistent towards my desires. Everything I mentioned took tons of effort & dedication, that’s the only reason they all are still alive in me which reflects in my personality as well. Agree I am a generous happy happening horny little-arrogant self-invested athletic sober sweet pain in the ass, who is habituated to more than enough good/bad attention since a long long time because of everything I mentioned above about dance or anything else in my student life. I am so me because of all achievements/blunders I made during my teen days. (Another stupid info; It didn’t workout with the girl I mentioned, because she started smoking & doing drugs with her girl’s gang. I just hate smokers.)
Let’s talk a bit about how social media has bummed few of our social coping mechanism. In my engineering days when vine came, I loved few of those skits because they all were original/funny/witty. 6-10 seconds worth-it laughable moments in case you can figure out the humour meanwhile. Still I prefer Mr.bean anyday. But now when Tik-tok started getting popular after changing it’s name from “musically”, I hated the concept of every person lip syncing to the same song establishing that bullshit as a “TREND” for a week. When we talk 80’s or 90’s trend, we talk about a whole decade. The fuck is this current trend of Tik-tok which changes every week. Never downloaded that app in my phone, i saw some clips in YouTube because someone uploaded a collage of few clips. I hated it more than the word “Tik-tok”. Now instagram reels is doing exactly the same. And Instagram is a highlight reel of a person’s life since beginning. My point is; “if someone is happy to see your dance/face/ass for 15 seconds & gets entertainment from that, aren’t you literally selling yourself for a super cheap attention span!!” It’s not just you doing same enactment, there are literally a million others doing the same nonsense. There is nothing called creativity in it. That’s my perspective, anyone can argue & I will not connect to this idea of so-called entertainment in this perspective. That doesn’t mean all influencers should vanish from social media apps or you should stop posing infront of Eiffel tower touching it’s tip over air during your next trip to Paris. Do what you like and what you can allow yourself with a smile on your face, it’s WORTH IT.
Yeah, this post is about INSTANT GRATIFICATION. LET’S GO. Now a days the attention span of everything is decreasing with time. The coming generation is an example of “ready to eat” meal, including us 90’s kids. Whatever you want, you want it instantly. I mean there is no interest in investing yourself into anything, not a content, not a unique skillset, not an article, not reading a book, no interest in studies, not even in building a stable relationship. Everything must happen instantaneously. There is a big example how that reflects in society. You wanna watch a movie, you can watch it right now. You wanna watch a series, you can watch any episode from any season from any time. People skip seasons to binge next seasons. You don’t need to wait because you don’t want to wait for next episode to drop or go to a movie theatre for advance ticket booking. You wanna buy something, click amazon prime it’s arrived same day or next day. You don’t need to wait for anything. You don’t need to be persistent at all. Suppose you wanna go on a date, you don’t even need to be little aware of how to behave on your first date. You don’t need to work on “how to make the other person understand you value them”. You don’t even need to learn or practice that skill/manner to be a man/gentleman or a posh woman/girl (read it as you want). Swipe right, DONE. Zero social coping mechanism at play. Everything you want is instantaneous & it’s instantaneously available as well. Just gave you an Outlook of INSTANT GRATIFICATION.
Now what are those which is not available this easy? Answer: Work which satisfies your soul not just wallet & a strong stable relationship. Let’s say JOB SATISFACTION & TIME TESTED TRUTHFUL TOGETHERNESS, no app or no instantaneous approach will ever work here. These two are slow complex time consuming yet simple process, only if you acknowledge/endorse to be truthful & persistent. Few other things also take investment of time such as, MORAL, MONEY, SKILL, HOBBY, QUALIFICATION, SELF-RESPECT & CHARACTER.
In today’s world nobody is intrested to fetch/earn something amazing. Forget being smart or hard work, there is an existential crisis at play where all are actually dreaming for the minimum. Minimum wage, minimum amount of happiness, minimum timeframe to get fit/slim, minimum time to master a skill, minimum time/effort to get your life partner, most of which are nothing but a fake fuckery. My conclusion; Patience is missing. Desire to be skilled/informed is missing. Suicide/drug overdose deaths/alcohol/smoking/weed on rise. There is an entire generation of “OK” is booming where the idea/ideology of believing in self to become “EXTRAORDINARY/AMAZING” is missing. That’s my view on “INSTANT GRATIFICATION” & how it’s killing our society.
