A profile you should checkout, I swear it's not mine.

It was another day at college, this one in particular was quite bad. Not really sure what happened, but I just wasn’t feeling it. I felt like nothing I do would ever be significant and wanted to be left alone. I was mindlessly scrolling through Instagram, trying to avoid any possible human interaction when I came across a post that said :

Ron is a writer and he loves coffee, it’s obvious because his Instagram handle is ‘payformycoffee’. Maybe stumbling upon his page was not life changing but a necessary reminder for me. This year is definitely a memorable year, and for obvious reasons, not really one with many happy memories (at least so far). I know it’s only March but it feels like a decade has passed. Everyday when so many people are facing life threatening situations, I can’t help but get overwhelmed. However, this post showed me that the little things in life, often those which we fail to acknowledge, matter. I've come so far in life, grown so much and I haven’t even realised it. Time has passed yet again and in the pursuit of my big dreams I had forgotten to cherish my small achievements. In a world of chaos, I didn’t notice how lucky I was to be safe with the people I love around me.

Ron writes about his thoughts on life and interesting conversations with random people. He also sends life updates as emails that describe his day and feelings. Lying lazily on the couch, sipping coffee after a long day and simply reading about someone else’s life is strangely comforting. I’m reassured that in the end we’re all human beings and bad days are a part of life. Simply put, I've learnt to live in the moment.

Although Ron doesn’t use appropriate punctuations and sometimes his work has spelling errors, I find his style beautiful, natural and thought provoking. Being unique makes you real and original. I’ve learnt to become a better version of myself everyday.

Yours truly,

hx.

Gen z ? IGen ?

Social generations are cohorts of people born in the same date range and share similar cultural experiences. Gen Z is the newest generation to be named and were born between 1995 and 2015. Members of Gen Z are true digital natives: from earliest youth, they have been exposed to the internet, social networks and mobiles. This generation is most likely to have never known a mobile that isn’t a smartphone. All these factors have given rise to a hypercognitive generation that is very comfortable with collecting and cross-referencing many sources of information within minutes. They are able to integrate virtual and offline experiences. Which of the following Gen Z characteristics do you identify with? Identity Nomads Gen Zers experiment with different ways of being themselves and to shape their individual identities over time. Gender fluidity may be the most telling reflection of “undefined ID”. Gen Z seeks uniqueness in all walks of life primarily through the br...

Metanoia

Just another day of summer vacation,plain,no plans with friends and simply boring.I was lying on my bed, mindlessly scrolling through my phone, switching between instagram and youtube, when I came across an app that I had stopped using, pinterest.Although Pinterest is great,but, for me, it represented a failed attempt to start a blog.Boredom got the better of me, and I decided to take a look at Pinterest. On my feed, I came across the word - metanoia. Metanoia in Greek is literally ‘change of mind’ often translated as “repentance". But this kind of repentance is not about regret or guilt or shame; it implies making a decision to turn around, to face a new direction. Something, I really badly needed at that time. Life was no fun, I had no idea what I was doing.And maybe, because of this,I had trouble sleeping, I was constantly anxious about my future.I wanted a goal to pursue but didn’t attempt to find goals.Something had to change, life shouldn’t feel like this. A lot has ...

To be in love.

I'm a psychology student and one of the perks of being in a psychology class is being surrounded by inquisitive friends who aren't afraid to talk about abstract human emotions like anger, arousal and love. A few days into the quarantine, a friend and I were texting (social distancing check ) . She asked - What is love? This question lead to an intense two hour long dialogue in which our opinions on romantic love were exchanged. The following passage is inspired by our conversation that day. According to the all knowing reservoir of Google, love is 'an intense feeling of deep affection'. Just reading those words out loud makes me want to cringe hard. Somehow, I can understand familial love and affection towards friends. We've all been exposed to it in some form during our early years. But, romantic love? Is that an actual thing ? Or a treacherous scheme by the society to trap innocent people for procreation purposes....
