Interesting year...
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Here is a list of 10 damaging societal trends to avoid:
1 - Copy-pasting aesthetics and losing all personality (e.g. "that girl" clones who all do Pilates and drink green smoothies).
2 - Narcissism ("I am perfect"/"everyone is obsessed with me"/"I am the centre of the universe" etc). True narcissists are self-absorbed parasites who need intense therapy.
3 - Manifestation ("I am God/reality is an illusion/my thoughts and feelings influence reality/quantum realm" etc). This is a combination between new age pseudoscience, Hinduism, Magical Thinking (seek therapy) and Neville Goddard's work. This is a huge $$$ business and gurus make millions selling courses/books/etc. This can HARM you when it comes to taking action. E.g. you will not lose weight through writing it on a piece of paper, you lose weight through eating better and working out.
4 - Idolising people (celebs, influencers, rich people, etc). Nobody is above you. We all eat and sleep and breathe the same oxygen. Stop putting people on a pedestal and worshipping them.
5 - Posting everything online. Not everyone should see your private moments and thoughts, start living in the real world, stop sharing with strangers/people who will sabotage you.
6 - Getting political/educational information from SOCIAL MEDIA. That unhinged Twitter user posting radical content has never socialised with real people or read the source material. Have they even read the books/studies/manifestos? Or just repeating rhetoric from the echo-chamber?
7 - Casual hook-up culture. Studies show it decreases self-esteem. You're also (as a woman) giving undeserving men your most important source of leverage. What are you getting out of it? Aside from STDs and pregnancy scares?
8 - Internet 24/7. Turn off notifications, log out of social media, set timers on things. Read a book, take a walk, pick up a physical hobby, etc. Remember companies harvest time, which is your one most precious (limited) resource.
9 - Consumerism. Buying a new handbag won't fill the void in your soul, stop trying. Shiny new things give us a short rush then we go back to mundane. Buy a few quality items and find joy from other sources.
10 - Chasing fame. The internet is now saturated with wannabe-'influencers', IG models, Youtubers, TikTokers. Popularity will not give you the validation you crave. The followers you gain will put you on a perfection pedestal and then rip you down and devour you whole. It's isolating, it's false love, and once they're done with you the crowd will move on to someone else.
If you disagree with this list, don't tell me. I don't care. To everyone else, I hope this helps you find value.

i love early mornings. the soft sunlight, the silence, everything covered in little droplets, the cool breeze. i love showering in the morning and putting on comfy clothes, enjoying my coffee before the world wakes up. its so easy to romanticize.
A couple of fairy I spotted, near the abondaned cottage I'm staying. I didn't had my camera on me so this is my artistic rendition of the encounter.
