Social media sucks ass
I cant pretend to defend it anymore.
Honestly fuck that shit.
I feel less pressure to be someone and its a beautiful thing because i can now finally focus on just being myself.
I’ve gotten to know myself a lot more during my time off “the gram” (god i fucking hate saying that term).
and its been glorious!
I’ve learned my strengths,
my weaknesses,
Went to therapy.
Did all that.
And now I finally feel like im in the right direction
when it comes to being in a healthier relationship with myself.
Because we really do have relationships with ourselves.
Think about it
we put our bodies through a lot
and our spirits and minds through so much as well.
I’ve learned to be kinder to me.
To not push myself when i don't need to be pushed,
and to kick my own ass when i need a good boost.
I’ve been learning to set boundaries
saying no used to be a lot harder than it is now.
Saying yes also.
I’ve just been embracing life and its absurdity,
trying to grow outside my comfort zone,
trying new things,
things i wouldn’t normally be comfortable doing,
avoiding labels that pigeonhole you and put you in a box (cough introvert cough.)
evolving,
becoming the man i know Im destined to be.
I’ve developed a more solid relationship with my spirit also

and God.
I sometimes go to church for the peace, and whenever i feel my heart, mind, body and soul need it.
I’ve been learning to listen better, not just to others but to myself as well.
To be more present by mending my once shattered focus through being fully in the moment.
It’s just infinitely easier to develop all of these things when you’re not constantly burned out by the smouldering embers of human desire.
The desires of the flesh.
Lust.
It runs rampant on these platforms.
You see the good
the bad
all of it.
It’s better for myself to not see.
My highest goal right now is to tame my lust.
To have me feed it whenever I want to feed it,
rather than it taking chunks of my soul with it whenever it gets hungry.
I accept that all of it (the good bad ugly) is there because
acceptance is key.
But you gotta know yourself and
what works for you and what doesn't
and ultimately
social media just isn’t for me.
And it clearly isn't for most people.
I mean just look at their faces next time you see a “selfie”.
And i mean Really look at them.
The poor selfish fucks.
Too absorbed with themselves to see what’s really going on.
Sure they just want to feel like they lead meaningful lives but c’mon man.
Get over your Self.
God bless you.
We are all unified through love, emotions, archetypes and common experience.
No islands in this bitch. Only New Earth. That’s it.
