Why I Stopped Using Social Media.

This is coming from a girl who used to spend 8 to 9 hours on her twitter and tumblr accounts, doing nothing all day but follow fandoms and live an ordinary stereotypical life. I wasn't aware of I what I was doing at that time, and perhaps it was my only exit to stray away from boredom. I officially deactivated my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts when I was almost sixteen year old, and I say it had been three years without them. Am I dead yet? I am actually living. Yes, there are times when it's peculiar to be the only one in a group of people not to know the latest celebrity news or new fashion styles. But to me, these kind of things are immensely insignificant. Social media proved to be successful to damage a part of my teenagehood by introducing me to unrealistic beauty standards which led me to compare my life with others.

Should I trust my heart? Especially when there's comfort surpassing its every corner?  Should I trust love? I realised that love, no matter how comforting it feels, is such a risky adventure. It involves a lot of compromise, a lot of things to let go. You tend to forget about yourself for a while, and do things just for the sake of love, for the sake of an emotion that fills your perception with imperfections made so beautiful and delicately flawless. Love is a dimension that doesn't involve around people, but their very own souls, and as they dig deeper into their true identities, the more intense this emotion is... because it fills them up entirely, allows them to visualise happiness in infinite measures. Oh and love, it makes us feel alive. At the moment, my heart is beating and pumping surges of untamed love, accompanied by sudden bursts of memories that are trying to fit themselves in a puzzle piece I had started many years ago; will I ever be loved?
