Towards 25 years old, of course, I have learned many things based on the good experiences and also the bad experiences that I have experienced. I can’t write down everything because there are some things that I think are too personal to write down, so I will only write down two points, namely as follows:
Not Publishing Many Things on Social Media Turns Out to be Reassuring
In the past, I was a person who practically could not live without social media and always shared whatever I was feeling on social media, whether it was happy or sad. Until the covid pandemic came, and when problems with my final college assignment hampered me, I felt unfortunate and felt that it seemed like I was the only one who was having a hard time while my friends on social media looked fine.
Then finally, at that time, I decided to deactivate my social media temporarily. As a result, I was more able to focus on doing my final assignment and graduated with excellent grades.
Because of that incident, I am used to deactivating my social media, especially Instagram. I still open Twitter, but not too often, to update news that happened, but since that incident, whatever I feel, whether sad or happy and whatever I’m doing, I never publish it again because my life is calmer like this. I also focused more on myself and never again compared myself to others.
Learn to Accept Yourself and Appreciate Every Process that Exists
After going through several problems and failures, I finally learned to accept myself and appreciate whatever process I went through. The trick is that I started to like documenting on my personal Twitter or Instagram account (which has no followers at all) to save all the productive activities I have done and all the processes I have succeeded in achieving and complete with stories about the difficulties.
That’s all I can share, and thank you to those of you who have read this short article.
