It’s that time again guys, its so over

Been paying attention to the things lately and for me it’s

• Coffee
• Matcha
• Going for a walk
• People watching at a cafe (just sitting near the window, bring book to read, and just watch people) idk why this is my fav, and listening to some groove
• making art while listening to podcast or music
• Just driving out my wife to whichever she needd to go, like couple days ago she got invited to some kind of club of students with high gpa and there’s test there to, and i dropped her there, and after, while waiting i can just go for a bit of side quest or walk whatever without knowing where im going to go, idk why it really makes me happy for some reason exploring places and once she’s done, went to cafe and went home

I love all of those small things, i think those are the things that actually matter to me and brings me joy to live more, instead of buying material things

What about you? I keen to hear yours so that maybe i can copy it to my life too!

In the last one, did he used nagumo persona and be aoi? What the helly? Is bro larping again? Just end this manga dude damn ts so long 😭🗿💀

I used to be a really perfectionist person, even i still am. I care too much about literally every fucking things, from my house, car, bike, cruiser, fucking phones, bags, dude everything, i always try to make sure everything is the latest or at least best, browsing crazy amount of time trying to pick the best bag brands and stuff. Always upgrading phones every year, airpods, pc, gpu, ram, caring too much about kitchen set, bathroom, etc and so on and so forth

This is INSANE, and fucking annoying i realized all of this back in 2023,

And it really hit me when this thought came out like
“Dude why the fuck you do all this to yourself? Why you care too much? What does all that you do matter to you or to anyone or contribution to anything? Fucking nothing!”

I feel crazy and my life is too complicated.”

Why the fuck do i need to care about what i’m gonna be seen on public based on the things or brand that i use? And okay i like things or two but why do i need to stress over it too? It just don’t matter.

Thus, i begin to realize, i stop caring, idc, i just stop buying, stop caring, and live my life as it is realizing that i cant believe i had fallen into the trap of brand identity consumerism.

As for now i simplify everything, from car, my cruiser everything, if i like the way it is right now thats enough nothing to browse more nothing to find something more,

Do you realize how many times we BROWSE AND TRY TO FIND SOMETHING TO WANT?

Thats crazy dude we dont realize it

I dont buy no more i dont care i dont upgrade, i just live and enjoy what i have, it makes my live very meaningful and happier, i taught this to my wife too and my wife im grateful in the same wavelength

Now i spend more of my time living out the best, just enjoying life and nature as it is.

And now the problem is going to be protecting this peace because phone is like grenade now, i can fall into those trap again if i dont careful.

Living in this age is tuff, you really need to be strong at anything to not fallen into the hand of manipulator and wrong culture.

Where is leak?

Would love to hear your opinion on why mindless consumerism is starting to rot alot of people live and taken away their freedom and simple life.

I think it has to do alot with marketing, companies, late stage capitalism, brands, etc

In many aspect of life, phones, cars, fanny packs, bags, camping gear, anything really like fucking anything can be branded capitalist that people fight over it and think they’re better than the others because some brand they use that they dont even make or get money from.

It’s hard to opt out fully mentally if you live in city where majority of people already brainwashed by the same norms and you’re the only one trying to live a simple life, and ofc also the effort to live like a hermit because one two three meeting the wrong people could risking losing all of your self.

Thoughts?

For me this is very very true. Simple living for me needs a core foundation and it’s a good mental health. For me simply, i always block, ignore, and choose not to gaf to shits on social media. It can easily triggers me to makes me feel anxious.

Some might already settle, but for me its still a constant battle.

And not only social media, sometimes wrong people can gets you off your grid.

I really careful where im going to be friend to.
Because man some are just assholes, and even more how many times i feel like blowing up hearing nonsense from someone.

I keep it neutral when it comes to chat with strangers, involve too much, it drains my energy.

My only source of validation now is just from my dad and my wife, dc anything else.

Tired of the new normal you can say, absolute cinema.
