Quitting Social Media

These days, I use Facebook purely for practical reasons — mainly to browse Marketplace or respond to messages from friends who still choose to connect that way. I’m not active otherwise, and I don’t post updates about my life.

I haven’t watched a movie in over a year. In that time, I’ve become a much happier person. I try to live with more intention, and before doing anything, I ask myself:

“Is this in the best interest of myself, or my higher self?”

That question has become a quiet guide — a way to filter out distraction and align with what truly matters.

If you’re curious about what I’m up to, the only place you’ll find any trace of it is on my blog. But to be honest, very few people read it. And I’m completely okay with that.

There’s no real need for others to know what I’m doing. I’m content living quietly, with presence and purpose.

It is okay to be an underachiever

“Anything worth doing is worth doing badly.”

Joel Salatin

“Even mild-mannered men try to overcome one another with display of piety in church.”

Underachievers Manifesto – (modified quote-same idea)

Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher,
    vanity of vanities! All is vanity.

What does man gain by all the toil
    at which he toils under the sun?

ecclesiastes 1

It is good to take things slow and enjoy the moment than think too much about achievement. Popular culture simply wants you to achieve more and more. Taking things slow and accepting yourself can be a game changer.
