Thinking deep about life for the first time in 2020 - A Different Life, Everyday.
Thinking deep about life for the first time in 2020
I am the type of person who thinks alot, I am very nice at overthinking things which I find is both a blessing and curse. It's 10 January 2020 now and for the first time today I thought pretty deep about my life, I was actually really bored and felt empty like I didn't know what should I actually do. I haven't attended a single class of semester 2 after my exams ended due to some personal problems, I will not make this blog any more personal.
I want this new decade to be really different and better than the previous one and I don't want my 2020 to be like 2019 which I have mentioned several times that it's the worst year of my entire life (so far). I see myself being better every single day, the more I learn the better I feel about myself. It's great. But this emptiness I felt today was bad, so I decided to watch some life talk videos on Youtube and I learned new things about life. I feel that I am living the same life everyday and it's so boring and repetitive, I see other people on social media, celebs and friends having fun, parties, doing better than what I am actually doing? It's not always like that. No one's life is always like that, no one is happy all the time. It's not even their regular life, they are highlights of their life like when I go to parties, vacations, simply going out etc. and take pictures and post (I don't post much though).
Social media changes the way we look at our life. I've read this alot but still I am addicted to my phone and these apps, there's one more reason and it's the success I crave for. Having pages with hundreds of thousands of followers, the fame I always wanted since childhood.
You know how I want my life to be? I want to do different things in my life, I want to experience different things,meet different people, share different ideas. I don't want to be in a repetitive loop which I get bored of. I said to my best friend that I am totally bored, what should I do? and he said that you should try to learn some new skills or see something different you don't usually see (youtube, other internet pages). He basically meant try something different. So now I was just thinking that the memories that are often memorable are the ones that are different from the things we do most often. Like you eat everyday during dinner, it's obviously not memorable but when you go out to have dinner at a very nice restaurant, that is something memorable. So in order to make memorable memories, you will have to make different memories and have different experiences.
I think Internet is the most powerful thing ever created and it's accessible to almost everyone, well obviously to you since you are reading this on the Internet (or not? haha). Let's say you go to party, every single day for 365 days. It won't be much fun to you then, it will feel like a regular thing and it won't be memorable. It will feel like having dinner at your dinner table everyday. Here's another example, say you want the latest iPhone 11 Pro Max. You dream about it, you feel like it's the only thing you want and you will be so much happy and you get it, say next day. Now you are so much happy that you have this amazing expensive smartphone and you can show off to your friends, you will feel so great. A month is passed now, do you feel the same? A year is passed, still feel the same? There's a new iPhone in the market and everyone wants that now. Actually you will get used to it and it won't feel the same anymore. New things are happening everyday.
Here's another example. Say you have a friend who is pretty rich and he goes to 5 star hotel every weekend but you have never went to one in your entire life. You may think that he must be feeling so happy that he gets to go there every weekend. You compare your life to his. But say after a week, your dad gets promotion and he says that I'll take the family to a 5 star hotel this weekend. Now you feel so much happy, like very happy. It was a dream of yours to stay at one and when you finally go there, step inside, eat there and stay a night. You feel so great, so much happiness in you. Now what do you think? Your friend feels the same everytime he goes into expensive hotels every weekend? Same as you? Absolutely not. You feel much much much happier than him. It was new for you, it was different for you, it was a new experience for you.
You get used to the things that you do everyday, so try to get out of this box the society has created and try to do different, everyday.
