What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?

I would say money & popularity and how much you need of it.

Yeah, definitely you need money for survival and as humans we crave attention at least from a few people – possible crush, friends, family etc.

But, I have always had that in mind ‘Do i really need it?’ and then I would argue with myself for hours – listing the pros and cons of each and arguing why or why not I need it?

But, I think I am coming to a solution ; at least to the money part. I am not there yet and I know it is a constant struggle especially with me – who thinks one way one day and then the other way the other day.

So, for me and knowing my past experiences and everything – I feel I don’t need more money, I always crave for more peace, more silence and zero drama if possible.

Yeah, for all the things you need money – travel, food and whatnot. But, I am willing to compromise on my desires if the money is coming hampering my peace of mind.

Yeah, I will have some regret but atleast I would have that peace of mind.

Opportunity cost right? You have to lose one thing or the other. You cannot have it all!

And about popularity, I am a social media marketer. So, I always had this that I should have a following, people should like my posts, give thoughtful comments etc.

Basically, attention.

But, lately I have been avoiding that and it feels good.

I am posting content that is me – the real me.

Like, this blog. I am not second-thinking what I am writing, just writing my heart-out.

And that is why you will see a lot of grammatical mistakes in this, but I don’t give a shit. This is my online journal and I will treat it the same way.

And it feels liberating when you don’t have this fear of people judging you or what you are posting. I have also started posting with my face and I now don’t seem to care what people think about me or what I am posting.

And I would like to keep it that way!
