The time has come again: I am doing book reviews! The goal is to write one book review per week, which means I have to read one book a week. I've also started an book Instagram account which you can follow here. Now, without further ado, let's talk about this simplistic novel I read in … Continue reading Leonard and Hungry Paul / Book Review
Happy Friday everyone! Today I want to share some things that have helped me fight my social media addiction. I am nowhere near being 'cured' but I've found ways to lessen my time and be more productive again. Social Media is a loophole. These tech companies hire psychologists who find out the best ways to … Continue reading How to Get Your Social Media Addiction Under Contol
Good morning everyone! Christmas is over, and so is 2021. I think we've already been done with 2021 before it began (as a matter of fact, I had to change 2020 into 2021 just now). Next year is going to be 2022, and it really shouldn't. The last two years just weren't right. We should … Continue reading New Year’s Resolutions – How To Get It Right This Time
Hello everyone, it's that time of the year again. The days are getting darker and the dark lingers on like a veil enveloping the world, devouring the light. It is a dark time, especially for people living with mental illnesses, and it drains all of us. Yet, the weather's still good in the UK. Today … Continue reading Autumn/Winter
Hello everyone, I know. Once again, it has been a long time. My life has changed, and I've been busy for months, happy, but also often stressed. I wish I had more time. Don't we always wish for more time? It feels like there's never enough of it. I am finally living my dream. I … Continue reading Living as an HSP
This book has been on my list for a while and I thought I should read it as I am also currently working on a story that involves cats. And wow, what a great time I had reading it! This book will make you feel good and sad. It balances those two aspects of life … Continue reading The Travelling Cat Chronicles – Hiro Arikawa | Book Review
I can't believe that my social detox month is almost over; that is, because I have mostly failed. Yes, I can't even spend four weeks without social media. It is an addiction, and you'll get 'the fix' much easier than contacting your drug dealer. The drug dealer is on your phone, notebook, tablet, everywhere. And … Continue reading 3rd and 4th Week Social Media Detox: Failing and Trying Again
July; short notes of the week 2nd: nothing particular but working. 3rd: Saturdays are my Mondays. Getting rid of Social Media doesn’t necessarily help mental health, to some extent, certainly, but it doesn’t help when you’re having a depressive episode. It just cannot further aggravate it. I no longer like to reach out to others … Continue reading 2nd Week Social Media Detox / About Loneliness
Today is my birthday. I am now 26 years old and I don't feel like 26-years old at all. Most people are already working my age, some are even married with children. And then there's me, not having finished university yet with the same old problems I've been having for ages, and besides, I don't … Continue reading A Simple Life / #2 A Promise – Birthday Gift to Myself
Good morning world! My first week of a Social Media detox is now almost over. I decided to give the 4-week detox another chance (I failed the first time) as I am still inspired by Cal Newport's 'Digital Minimalism' book. As I am a minimalist (or more like, on the way to becoming one) I … Continue reading 1st Week Social Media Detox
