The New Millennial Cancer

Socialization can be anything from being good, necessary, to being evil depending on what each individual or institution perceive. As in the words of the famous or infamous Adolf Hitler:
“through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and vice versa to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise.”- Adolf Hitler.

The aggravated absent mindedness people suffer from as soon as they get online, as they get sucked into a world of sublime lies, fabrication and fantasies; reminds me that socialization has ceased to be a matter of where one comes from but what one is exposed to. With media taking over almost every little remains of what was once called culture, culture itself is no longer of significance. I do not seek to anciently react to how people dress, talk or eat but my primary concern has always ascended when people start living a lie which I’ve coined “the new millennial cancer.”

I realized that anyone and everyone are capable of living a lie and that the biggest challenge in this millennium is being yourself in a world that is trying to make you like everyone else.
The following goes out to all those who live a life to impress; those who live a life without the ‘f’; those who adhere to society’s selfish demands; those who would rather be a somebody in people’s eyes and a nobody in real life; those who live an impeccable life onstage and on the spotlight when in fact there is chaos behind the scenes; to the beautiful dark skinned ladies who boldly sit on the yellow throne due to lack of knowledge on the real meaning of reality.

Unfortunately for some the consequences are more physical and therefore irreversible but for the majority of those trying to play mind games and going the extra-psycho mile to convince the society that they are the real deal and are actually living the real life deriding the fact that the only real life is the life that is presented as it is, filter-free.

Resolved; always be yourself. Never try to hide the real you. The only shame is to have shame so always stand up for what you believe in relentlessly. Never regret the past. It’s a waste of time. Let it sink in that there is a reason for everything, every mistake, every moment of weakness, every terrible thing that has happened to you, and grow from it.
From now going forward, screw “perfect.” 
"Forget for a while about what kind of person you want to be, and just be the best version of the person you are."- Lord Vito
As you grow into consciousness, my wish for you is that you feel no need to constrict yourself to make other people contented.

I gave up my struggle with perfection a long time ago because it became a concept I don’t find very interesting anymore. Everyone just wants to look good in the photographs, portray the celebrities and make it seem like they have an awesome life which is where most of the pressure comes from. Be happy, be yourself and bear in mind that life is about a lot more than impressing the next person and play-acting.

Be real in a world that’s trying to make you a living lie. Be yourself and start drenching in the pit of happiness. Elevate your self-consciousness and let the positivity flow within you. Eventually your happiness will cultivate a much happier environment for the next person and the world will slowly but surely become a better place as it were.

Don't ask me why

If you can, please don't ask me why, When you feel like asking me, please don't try, There is no evidence or reason to why I love you with all  my heart I was with you since day one wasn't I? Trust no one they say, but I'm someone ain't I? If your answer is yes, please spare me the WHYs; True love, I might not believe in, Love at first sight, I might not have seen, but all I acknowledge is you and me; Love is a mystery, but i love you with simplicity, Let's be the reason they wanna go through thick and thin, Don't fuss over anything and let us be; I represent Team Talk Less,  I believe in silence, but i won't deny how much I care. Love me like you'll never love again, love me and I won't make you regret, Divided we are crap, together we are great; Superflous are my words, when I think of you, I think that's enough proof that I love you, now take a deep breath, think of me and you;  and NEVER EVER ASK ME WHY I LOVE YOU.

HOW SOCIAL MEDIA IS KILLING YOUR RELATIONSHIP

To us millennials, social media has become part of our life-package and ceased to be the mere privilege and a means of social connection it ought to be. While social media has the potential to beautify our day-to-day relationships, it also has the ability to cause great damage, particularly in our relationships. Social media can become an addiction. Frankly, I am on Whatsapp, Instagram, Twitter or Facebook throughout the day, partly because I am a blogger and need to stay abreast but the other part of me just loves seeing newsfeeds and stories from various people (some I don’t even know in person). I am curious about their lifestyle and how they spend their time which got me realizing that this can be a hazardous place to be. One minute you’re looking at the #ManCrushMonday hashtag on Instagram, and the next moment you take your eyes of the screen, it’s three years later, you’ve suffered a major heartbreak and you’re lonely despite the endless friend-lists or the infinite scroll...
