deep conversations.

The fact that I have so many "friends" but not a single one with whom I can have meaningful talks and a real connection is frustrating. Finding this kind of friend is like finding a needle in a haystack. 

Everyone is just glued to their phones, scrolling through social media wherein conversations revolve around superficial topics like bland celebrity talks, gossip, negativity, toxic thoughts, and relationships. Everyone is so caught up with meaningless information from social media. In fact, these shallow topics consume a lot of energy and space in our minds! 

But to be honest, I was one of those people too, not until I realized there is more to life than staring at a screen. I used to love TikTok and dramas of people who don't even know I exist. Thankfully, I gained awareness and clarity, which have driven me to try out new hobbies and get to know myself better. It was refreshing to step outside my comfort zone, and this has helped me appreciate the beauty of simplicity and living life in the moment. It was indeed a breakthrough. 

Fortunately, I have a boyfriend that I can talk decently to these days. He is my solace. We talk about hobbies, goals, habits, and basically things that help us discover our identity and make our lives fulfilling each day. And the best part is, we're there for each other no matter what. 

While I am grateful for the relationship I have with my boyfriend, it's still nice to have a friend who shares a similar mindset and values personal growth. Social media is an illusion, they say. People unconsciously consume a lot of their attention and energy to it, wherein we could have been focusing on things that actually matter.
