Well,
it’s been a long time since the last time I visited my own personal blog.
Actually I had no idea why I left this one, maybe I was so busy adapting with
my new life called “college”.
After
15 months break, I decided to write again. Frankly, it’s because of something
suddenly crossed through my mind. I got inspired by something I’ve been doing
for so long in about 5 years. You know it; living my life in social media.
Let’s
start.
I’ve
got one pathetic story (I guess): One day, my aunt visited my home. She
brought her husband, and two daughters. The eldest one is 13, you can call her
Lany. When she was just arrived at my home, she went to my bed and laid there, spent
her time by staring at her cellphone for hours and ignored my family here, at
my home. I was curious what she was doing, and found her scrolling through her
Instagram. I said, “Lan, let’s have lunch together! I’ve cooked your favorite
menu, aren’t you hungry after having “long journey” to get here?” and she only
shook her head and ignored me. End of story.
I
wonder what’s going on, does this happen to other people too?
There
are some simple questions: (1) “Why do we sacrifice our real life and choose to
spend our precious time by scrolling through social media?”; (2) “Have you ever
wondered about how much time wasted by living your life in social media and ‘leaving’
your real life instead?”; and this, (3) “Why do we keep our Instagram feeds
look awesome and ignore our messy real life? Shouldn't it be reversed?”. Well,
can you answer those with the most logical answers? I don’t think many people
can do that.
This
time, internet has been being one of the most important things in life. We can
do anything with internet included connecting us with anyone in socmeds. But
sadly, some people don’t use it wisely. Many humans got addicted with internet.
I can’t lie, it affected on me too, and sometimes I search for a way to get out
of the “socmeds addiction” because I know it bothers my real life. But still, I
ended up staying up all night doing something unproductive.
I
wonder what’s going on in my life, in everyone’s life, is this real life more
pathetic that we prefer to spend most of our time by scrolling through socmeds
and watching videos in YouTube multiple times? Can’t I just have one day
without internet and spend those 24 hours by having fun with my closest people?
Because the wasted time can’t be replaced…
You
know what’s more miserable? Many people keep their Instagram feeds look
awesome, aesthetic, or something like that and ignore their messy real life. Even
I found some people have another (or more than one) account so that they can
keep the main account looks nice, and they post anything mess in the second
one. Well, what’s the point? Does that make they live happier? And, do you
think it’s cool if people know our life is as happy as we act in socmed whereas
it doesn’t seem like that at all?
There’s
one more thing. I feel bad for people who tend to find friends in socmeds.
Maybe you can say that it feels good sometimes talking to strangers, you can
discuss about anything with them. But still, I think talking directly-faces to
faces-with friends is the best way to get rid of my loneliness. I can read
their emotions, laugh together, and many other things that chat apps could
never do.
Well,
don’t you miss the time when you really talking to your love ones without
bothered by cellphones? Isn’t it so precious? And, why you always keep your
head down, forget the real world, and staring your phone screen for hours? Doesn’t
it make your eyes feel tired?
Think
again, fellas. Make your time to take care of your real life. It needs to look
as aesthetic as your Instagram feeds too.
