Hey everyone! It’s July here! We’re now on the other half of the year 2025!

These past six months have been quite tumultuous for me! With my emotions all over the place and my money draining out like water.

I’ve always tried to be a positive person in every situation and like to look at the brighter side of life but you know not everyday you have the energy or the mood to be happy and full of life.

Sometimes I like to visit my past and question about certain choices I made in life back when I was young and naive and like to think how things would unfold for me had I not made the choice to do so but you know that every choice and mistake you made on the past was exactly what you wanted at that time and crying over spilled milk is not gonna help me or take anywhere.

So, since life is so unpredictable and you never know what is gonna happen next, why fret about things that you don’t know now!

Anyways, I’ve made a list of propaganda that social media and other platforms tell you is the best for you yet you know that we’re not the same, and those things might not work you.

1.Being happy all the time: As I’ve already mentioned that we are human beings and it’s not possible for us to remain happy and positive all the time. Sometimes, we feel overwhelmed by certain things that we don’t know what step we should take next. We find ourselves locked in with thoughts and emotions and sometimes with guilt and sadness and fear and what not. Feeling sad is absolutely fine, it makes you go deeper within you and embracing your emotions and acting crazy or crying your eyes out sometimes make you feel better. We’re all humans with diverse range of emotions with in. So, sadness and loneliness make you want to be happy again and you find yourself looking for things to make you feel alive again like scrolling through funny videos, recalling those good memories when you laughed until you cried, that warm cup of tea after a very exhausting day, talking to your friends about the things that bother you will make you feel better.

2. Following every trend: You know when you walk down the street and everyone is wearing the same clothes, doing the same hairstyle, hopping on to buy the same thing just because it’s trending, visiting the same place because it’s hot now and may be you think it’s cool and will make you a part of the ‘it’ community, is just sad.By doing this you’re killing the original you and your uniqueness. Remember, how different and cool and unique you are. Embrace your originality, find your unique style and stick to that. Trends come and go, but style never fades.

3.Idolising someone too much: I can’t understand the concept behind idolising people to the extent that you walk and talk like them.I do know that we have our own celebrity or influencer crushes but no man, I would never ever try to be a clone of them. I love myself too much to be them.My clumsy side, my funny side, the way I talk and think, my style, my voice, my face, all these things make me and that’s who I am, I wouldn’t want to kill the real me to embody someone else’s persona or style.

4. Being overly nice: I think I was a people pleaser once, keeping their wants and needs ahead of mine.I always tried to bring a smile on their face knowing that it wasn’t best for me. Lots of times I’ve forsaken my convenience and tried to keep theirs. This time, I’m only meeting people halfway, I don’t hesitate in saying ‘no’ and maintaining my peace and dignity. I’ve taken time in clearing away people and situation in my life that no longer serves me. I’ve decided to not let my brain think about what if’s and could have’s, it’s just straight up now, you respect me I respect you, you belittle me and take me for granted I’m gone.

5.Believing everything I see on social media: I’m a woman and I see quotes and reels on social media where women and girls are saying things like a man has to have certain thousand dollars and sports car to marry them cause they’re high maintenance or where people are promoting infidelity and vulgarism through reels and posting thirst traps for likes and comments are saddening. Buying makeup just because someone on the reel said it’s great and hauling items and clothes because someone said the fabric is great and looks super cool on them, is utterly ridiculous. You need to know that they’re getting it for free for promotion and what looks good on them may not look good or suit you.Be mindful of people and pages you follow, what you see and hear and think is what you become.

I hope you’ll have a wonderful July ahead !

With love
