New Discoveries
Opening the door means I'm going to make new discoveries; places to explore, gorgeous human to network with, objects to purchase and preserve, foods to concoct and ingest, and pastimes to pursue. Closing the door means I'm staying stuck in the same, boring, futile and ordinary places I don't need to remain in. I don't need to suffocate myself with old and stinky garbage. I need to renew myself with fresh, clean and valuable provisions and programs I see around. Opportunities will find me everywhere I sojourn to. They won't be around forever, so I'll take them while they're still offered to me. They may or may not all be my up my alley, but it doesn't hurt to investigate every one of them. To flourish, I need to leave my shell. To gain wisdom, I need to learn and teach. Making new discoveries is the only way I'll survive and thrive.

6 Perfect Excuses To Take It Easy On Social Media
Social media addiction is a common mental health issue that people around the world are grappling with at the moment. Social media platforms become a part of our daily lives and are useful for social, academic, employment and recreational purposes. Even though social media platforms have lots of mental, psychological and emotional health benefits, there are also many disadvantages like increased loneliness, lack of concentration, decreased social skills, obesity, etc. More and more people, especially pre-teens and teenagers are spending extra hours on social media platforms and their phones. Kids and teens' mental, physical and emotional health and academic success is deteriorating, because of the excess social media and phone usage. Even adults struggle with it and people need to find a way to "still enjoy using social media platforms and not overdo it!” I've struggled with excess social media addiction for the last several years and I'm slowly working on "reducing the amount of time I spend on social media platforms, and only using it for creative and social purposes.”

Naive
Like playing a game of tug-of-war, I was always pulled in two opposite directions. I became blind and I never knew which side of the rope to take and remain on. I always asked myself, "Should I take the right side of wrong side?" I was as wise as a hundred universities, but I was tangled in a web of untrue facts. The web was challenging to undo and I remained stuck until I found my way out. I was naive and I was unable to stick to the mere truth. I would face the dumb way when I meant to face the smart way. As I bloomed and my wisdom grew as big as a globe, I abandoned the game of tug-of-war and picked the "smart side" of the rope. I was no longer glued to the middle. I knew my instincts, I just didn't know which side of the rope to hold onto.
