the key of having a good and peaceful life in this temporary world is being grateful, appreciative and happy for what you have.

Does anyone else find it SUPER overwhelming to scroll through Twitter, TikTok, Tumblr etc where people are just voicing a million different opinions on a million different things and it feels like you’re being screamed at and given cognitive dissonance and your perspective on things is flipped and twisted every two seconds as a new loudmouth opinion is presented to you? I swear we were not evolved to be purveying a million different screaming people everyday shouting THEIR differing views on the same set of topics. It’s so harmful to mental health and I legit just think it’s not talked about enough. People make a big song and dance about ‘we were not evolved to see this many pretty people everyday’ but were we evolved for this though?

Information overload, and I think it's part of the reason why so many people have developed so many mental illnesses as a result. ADHD, depression, anxiety, all from the constant flow of online content aimed to shorten the attention span and disconnecting people from their own reality.

having a quiet life is so.. underrated. i don’t mean it in the sense that people who’re open and loud and busy aren’t important, but when our culture has significantly put so much emphasis on the definition of success as fame, extraordinary accomplishments, greatness and importance and excessive wealth, i think there is so much power to be found in our own anonymity. in the silence of life. in not being constantly perceived, analyzed and performing for the world. in being able to take a walk, smile at strangers and just notice the world without all that noise. taking the biggest pleasure out of the smallest joys, like a cup of coffee or blowing out birthday candles. knowing that our lives don’t have to be a grand spectacle for others in order to have worth and cause a good impact.
