Just your regular 1 am thoughts

There are seldom nights in a year where my eyes cross the threshold of 1 am and unfortunate as it is, this is one of those nights.

Come to think of it, I don’t dread them entirely because when do I ever miss an opportunity to overthink. Here are a couple of thoughts or opinions that are either a drunken effect of my woke mind or just a phase of life.

1. We humans are trying to build a better lifestyle by breaking the current lifestyle, which yet again we created. So basically, we started with eating raw fruits in the morning, shifted to cereals in the 2000s and now back to following ancient dietary fads to revive our physical health. Well, I am non-believer of second chances so someone please tell me what is exactly the correct way to start my day because I am no longer depending on Instagram graduates in nutrition for the same.
2. While we are on the topic on Instagram graduates, who checks the credibility of all the information out there? I heard a 20 year old recommend an investment strategy and I don’t know whether to be happy at the new generation or crying that I thought I needed a degree to be a consultant.
3. Let’s get a little mid-20s because I seriously don’t know what is a social life. College being online was acceptable until I attended a lecture on how to fight Social Anxiety without even conversing with the 100 participants in the Zoom room.
4. Why is everyone advocating mental health when they have no idea how different it is for everyone? I cannot stress this enough but talking about mental health is just as good as copying answers from your friend’s assignment. You will get the work done but have you really been productive? In my opinion, mental health needs to be a part of my younger brother’s 7th standard Biology textbook because if he must know Puberty before hitting it, he must know how to take care of his mental health when someone laughs at his 10th attempt on the basketball field.
5. Aliens, wars, viruses- Welcome to the decade of Christopher Nolan. For once, I would like to just go to another country without wearing a mask and feel at home. Uncertain as times are, this seems more difficult than anytime.
6. Are we reversing in the series of events? We had a kickass 2000s where technology made life so easy that we weaponised it. As technology invites trouble, we seem to be peaking our negativity and disrespect towards humanity.
7. We were all born the same way and will die the same way. Whoever created this human technology, would have never in her/his calmest night thought that his by-products, us humans, can fuck this up pretty good. We created boundaries- religious, social, political, all presented with concern for humanity but stinking of greed.
8. Youtube, please don’t read my mind. It’s not scary because you watch my every move and then throw videos like a genie, but because I am done being aware about myself. I shout a little, I am guilty of it. I eat ice-cream, I am guilty of it. I nap in the afternoon, I am guilty of it. For once, if anyone could make a video on how it is okay to commit mistakes and it is okay to hurt and be hurt, I will be really after you (and your videos).
9. I bought 8 books last month only to read 10 pages of each and pick up another book because what if that one is more interesting. Remind me to never spoil myself with choices and stick to one book everytime. One book, one problem, one goal, one fry at a time.

Call it ranting or a carefully planned article, these are my Personal World Problems. Yes, PWP are more important for me that FWP (First World Problems) because my Twitter mentor told me to affirm Me Before You.

That’s it, folks. I am done telling you about my Human Things and I am not afraid to do so, however not popular, because I am a Human. Most probably someone whom people question ‘Who Man’ but yes, I am working on my social skills.

Thank you,

Don’t ever stop being a human!
