Intentionally Isolating Yourself

  We have all seen those posts on social media, whereby it says, “No internet, no electronics, no wi-fi and no social media for three months and you get 3 million." Perhaps, many of us even wanted to take on this challenge; not because of the HUGE sum of money that comes with it (which is, of course, an advantage), but because we want to isolate ourselves. Isolate ourselves from the big, bad reality. It's not common for you to think like that. Dreaming of yourself to be somewhere in another part of the world, far away from the reality is something I keep thinking of. But have you ever wondered, what makes us believe in such a manner?

The Burnout Generation: Why ‘Adulting’ has become bitterly hard

If you’re a millennial, your brain probably never stops. So does mine. Every time I think that I have got some free time to myself, my to-do list flashes in front of my eyes. That's when I start feeling guilty; I could be at the gym, or doing laundry, or cleaning my apartment. Sigh. For most millennials, it all starts from their high school period. Excellent results to never-ending extracurriculars to internships; it's like we are all tucked in between. Not all of us are the same, and many of you already suffer from mild depression and anxiety, and on top of that, this stress leads to having insomnia. Moreover, this is where it brings us to suffering from millennial burnout. This idea was first hyped up by BuzzFeed writer Anne Helen Peterson in her most shared article. The article...

Reasons Why You Should Always Put Yourself First

We have all been there: forgetting to put ourselves first. But why is that so? Maybe because we have always been taught to be more considerate and affectionate towards others; otherwise it's selfishness. That we should ever think of others and make them happy rather than thinking about our own happiness. One thing that we forget is that we should never exclude the love we have for ourselves while loving others. We can only give others what we have in us. Hence, if we keep exhausting ourselves by giving this positive energy to others, nothing is going to be left for us. Investing in one's own self is equally important as investing in others. So, it’s high time that we learn how we can put ourselves first with also being considerate towards others. There's an art to that. And there ...
