So

Call me "weak minded" or whatever but I...Just...Cannot Deal with some of the negativity / BS in the online world.

I require balance - positive space and real interactions to be my best self and live my best life. 😍

Challenges over the past year have really shown the "best" & "worst" of people.

In the United States Media & Social Media have (obviously) taken over most peoples spare time and in some cases I can actually SEE the mental damage to people I know.

YIKES 😨😨😨

After reading an article from the wonderful read-cash writer @Sujana. I decided to jot this down.

I think many people are "addicted" to the internet - whether it's porn, social media surfing, dating apps, etc. It's really all the same - what effect do these activities have on a person's mental state?

Do you get a rush for online attention, comments, likes, etc? OMG - You Really "like" me?πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

Of Course, Who Wouldn't? πŸ€“πŸ˜

Are you crushed when the negative comments start? 😭😭

Of Course, Who wants to read MEAN comments?

My question is this - WHO are the people you interact with online? Are they friends you actually know? (or randoms you "met" online?)

Would you ACTUALLY care what these people think if they were standing in front of you? (would you even KNOW what they look like or IF they are real people🀣 #catfish)

WHY does online activity take such a FRONT SEAT?

I have had many friends recently crushed from social media or dating apps to the point of mental collapse. 10 years ago you would have laughed hysterically at a negative stranger shouting mean things to you 🧐 (or just walked away from them)

WHY is it so IMPACTFUL online?

Personally I have to have work / real life / online life balance

I cannot spend all day on social media (maybe it's my location or circle of contacts, but I find it to be quite a negative space where I have to "cherry pick" content between terrible advertising and meanAF crap)

You can have your social media time, web surfing time, app time, etc

However- IMO Know When to Say WHEN πŸ€“ (Same as any habit/activity)πŸ€”

WHO wants to hangout with / date this?) "thanks for letting me meet you so I can watch you play on your phone..."🧐 it was an AMAZING EXPERIENCE🀣 )

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜†πŸ˜‚πŸ˜†πŸ˜‚πŸ˜†πŸ˜‚πŸ˜†πŸ˜‚πŸ˜†πŸ˜‚πŸ˜†πŸ˜‚πŸ˜†

If we get all of our "thrills" online (whether positive or negative) "I missed your first step, but I'm on level 14,237 on Candy Crush πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚"

Seriously, What kind of life is that? Balance comes in many forms - find your personal balance

I wish some people would step back, take a beat and a breath and get some perspective - Life really can be amazing, don't miss it by constantly looking down

PS - Your online date is here, better hurry (don't be devastated if they are not "the one" 🀣🀣)

Take Time for Real Life, Cherish Your Loved Ones & Stay Sane & Healthy @ Read.Cash friends ❀️

Let me give you an advice: delete every online apps from your phone, disable the wifi, and block internet access on your phone alltogether. For me, the online world starts when i sit down to my chair in front of the computer. And ends when i stand up from my desk. The online life cant consume the real life. I dont even have internet on my phone.
