Hey guys….welcome back! It's been a long time, right?
There is no excuses, if you ask me….just…. That I had been wasting my time! Crazy, right? Since nobody ever admit it so bluntly like that. To be exact, I was busy these days with so many stuff and when I got free time, I saw kdramas, movies and whatever which allowed me to forget my real-life troubles for the moment.
I didn't even have the mood to complete my read days, so that I won't lose my 'highly active' status. And when I restarted all my activities in Candlemonk today, I read someone's blog about ‘people wasting their time on social media and such’ . No offence meant to that person's blog, their blog was accurate and specific as it is. It gave me the idea to write this one. And what I am gonna share in this one is, my own perspectives about wasting one's own time.
As this quote says; "when something is free, you are the product".
It's true! It literally screamed in every possible way that you are JUST WASTING YOUR TIME when using the social media, 'caz it's free, it consumes your time without your knowledge, gets you addicted, and makes you the PRODUCT.
I, myself also had a time when I use to be addicted to my phone. When I got my own new phone, and I had the money to recharge, I was like, “i wanna see all those movies and series i never got to see and all those musicians i love and explore as many as things there is….and as the time went on, i found that I wasted my one year. My family consistently told me that I am spending too much time on my phone. And I stopped once I fell in love with BTS💜. They inspired me to live my life and made my self-conscience wake up. Even though I began to explore the whole k- world later, i reminded myself not to get addicted and be yourself. Now i see kdramas to relieve myself a bit from my reality. I am not saying i recovered fully from my drama/series obsession, but now I know not to get too much ahead, for which i see something inspiring or motivating at the end.
But the craziest thing i found about myself here is I never regretted that one year of my life, even though I knew that I did wasting my time and i didn't do anything particular in my life. Maybe it can be justified that, I am an introvert and all introverts need sometime away from the real world. Or simply that I did accepted the fact and I learnt from it and took only the positives from that period.
As a recovering person, I only have one thing to say to you all:
If you want to waste your time on social media or anywhere, then do it with your conscience. Enjoy the moment. Never…Ever….Regret it. Know that time will never come back for you…it's yours to choose!
Time is precious as everyone says. So, choose wisely!
Thanks for reading and supporting me even when I was not here💙
