pathak's journey

On the start of this month, I randomly decided to take a 5 days break from insta to work on my myself,to equipoise.
From last year, I was hooked a lot on Instagram throughout the day,even though I had no big thing going on over there,but I was 24 hours on insta,just scrolling and watching people do things,which in a way were captivating but nothing was of my use!

So,I decided to virtually disconnect from almost everyone,day 1was tough really tough, because my mind was all over the places, thinking about what is going on over there,what my friends are upto and every ramdon thing that can possibly happen,but I went through.

And then from second day, I started getting up at 4am ,it was after many years that I woke up at this time,but I did and then Iwent out for a walk,did some amazing things, had fun,met some cute doggo,clicked some pictures,and at the end of the I rewatched some amazing movies.

Next day I planted trees,did some art,learned more about myself and in-between I almost forgot about my existence there on insta which in a way was calming.
In that moment I realized,that all of the things that people put out there is just some sort of imitation to live, I am not saying that whatever they do is waste or useless,but when you take the hook off from this made up society you realise that there is much more than just doing things what million other people are already doing.

No doubt that social media is tempting,but taking a pause and seeing over your shoulder that there is a beautiful,raw, unfiltered and very earthly things,you for once involuntarily forget everything which in a way is satisfying and refreshing

This was my weekly journal,maybe I will take this break more often, because once in a while it is okay to take a break and keep a balance between real and virtual life…

Enjoy! 🧡✨
