The Dark Side Of Social Media
The Moment It Hit Me: I'm Addicted It was supposed to be a chill Saturday afternoon. I grabbed a cup of coffee, sat on the couch, and picked up my phone—just to check Instagram really quick. One friend had posted pictures from his vacation in Bali. I tapped, liked, and then scrolled down. Before I knew it, I’d watched a dozen Reels, read through three strangers' comment wars, looked up guitar covers on YouTube, and somehow ended up on a Reddit thread about productivity hacks… two hours gone. Just like that.

The Complex Role of Dopamine in Our Lives: Understanding the Science Behind Pleasure and Motivation
*The Complex Role of Dopamine in Our Lives: Understanding the Science Behind Pleasure and Motivation* Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in our brain's reward and pleasure centers. It is often referred to as the "feel-good" hormone, and for good reason. Dopamine is released in response to pleasurable activities, such as eating, exercise, or social interactions, and it helps to motivate us to repeat those behaviors. However, when dopamine is released in excess or in response to artificial stimuli, such as social media or pornography, it can have negative consequences for our mental and physical health.
