Keeping Sane.
I know, it's hard. Keeping sane at 20, in a world where everyone is telling you that you are doing something wrong, its testing. You test your strength, your patience, and your abilities.
I won't give you a step by step, how-to post, but, what I am doing is trying to explain how I did it.
Keeping sane, in this era, at 20, is a lot harder than it might seem. Social pressures are a real thing, and they are a lot more prominent since the emergence of social media. Social media has become both a blessing and a curse, and we as young beings struggle to demarcate where reality lies within the web of people constantly advertising their so-called "perfect lives"
The best way, that I have found, to stay sane in the age of social media, is realise that not everybody that you see on social media, actually have such picture perfect lives. Those are just the lives that they want the world to see. They want the world to see a life that actually doesn't exist, because truthfully, we all have our problems. No person can say that their lives have been entirely problem free, and honestly, its okay to have a life that isn't picture perfect, it's actually quite normal.
Your life actually shouldn't be dictated by the thousands of so-called "picture perfect" lives that you see. You, as your own person, should be dictating how your life goes, not that I'm saying that everything is always in your control, but, for the most part, you should be in control of your own life.
You make the best of your situation, or at least, I did, and that's how I managed to stay sane in the era of social media.
