In a world full of pressure, not only from social media but also from family expectations and demands. Most times the turbulence comes from our minds too.
Sometimes I might be deep in thought, thinking about a whole lot of things, and after thinking so much, I don't come out with any solution. It bothers me, but you might actually think I am too negligent or too casual, but then I don't want a situation where I get so overwhelmed, so instead I shove those worries away. I always say to myself nature will take its course, not scared of the consequences, but if it comes out right I am happy, but if it comes out bad I cry over it and move on with my life.
For me, finding peace is doing those little things that make me happy, not going to a fancy restaurant or giving something juicy to social media. If you all will agree with me, going to a fancy restaurant can be fun, but come on, who pays the bill, or will you give up more pressing needs just to knock it off with a plate of rice and turkey in a fancy restaurant and pretend like you feel alright, get the video and picture, and boom, you post it on social media, making us think you're living large while deep inside you're broken with life, but yet mask it up with a smile?It's difficult to actually have a genuine smile in a world full of distractions and expectations, and all I want to do is to live life and do the things I love. I find fulfillment in them.
Sometimes I choose a quiet place, staring into space unseeing and just enjoying the tranquility that comes after not thinking but just having a free mind, speaking to nature like it was a human right in front of me, and enjoying the beauty of nature. This is one of the things that keeps me going even when going seems so difficult.Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed meeting up my daily tasks, and most times to get off the guilt that comes with it, I will just stare into the mirror, not admiring myself but making different kinds of styles with my natural hair, and yeah, I feel so happy doing it.
I am not going anywhere, but I have already made myself up by striking different posts and eventually cleaning it up. It sounds funny and weird but I enjoy doing it so why don't I do the things I love.Most times the peace we look for is always right in front of us, but we don't seem to see it, probably because of the noise to feel among, meeting up expectations, and trying to live a life that isn't yours, and even our mind could be a limitation. My daily tasks can be filled with a bunch of activities that make me feel like a robot, which most times I don't like, but then if it gets to a point, I crave something.
I don't care how weird it feels, but I am going to hit it so right. I might stay in my room for a whole month, and one of my friends will have to ask me one day, Don't you feel bored staying indoors? But then a whole lot is going on within that space, not just work, but there is more to it, and I prefer tranquility over noise.
I could remember when I shut down my social media because of the distraction of the pop-up notification. I wasn't checking those emails, I wasn't going through status, and I wasn't strolling through the walls of TikTok. Just for a week, and it felt refreshing.In conclusion, doing the things I love is my peaceful place, and I don't care how weird it sounds.

Thank you.
Performing activities you love is always a life hack. A great deal of Time could pass and you would not even feel it.
I took could stay indoors for days and not get bored. How does one get bored of himself/herself? Lol.
Most people don't like staying indoors. It's boring for them.
