a sudden realization

So as I was mindlessly browsing through social media (like usual), a sudden realization just hit me - it had become a daily thing for me to catch up on other people's lives through social media like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc that I was starting to become envious of their lives. I was filling up the emptiness I felt in my life through looking at pictures and posts people post up regarding their own lives. And now that I think about it, isn't that kind of...a rather depressing habit to have? Filling up the emptiness of your own life with updates regarding their lives provided by other people through social media? Feeling even the least bit unhappy about my own life while not even making the effort to make it better? Just letting myself getting sucked into the world that is of social media and letting it control my mind?

So I've decided to put more effort into making my life feel less mundane - yes, I'm still in the middle of finishing up my 3rd year at university, and I always have something to work on every day - but that shouldn't stop me from brightening up my life with doing some small thing that's irrelevant to schoolwork right? I shouldn't rely on other people to fill up my life - I shouldn't let anything else other than myself control my life.

On an irrelevant note, blogging on here is starting to become a little bit more fun again - I think I might start being more active on here. Perhaps I will post something other than my usual rants and deep posts soon :P
