Social media is increasingly taking over our lives and we are slowly moving away from the real world to the virtual world of 'likes/dislikes'. The author feels it is about time we realize it and go for a detox.

Life is meant to be enjoyed to the fullest. What does enjoyment mean to us? For a child it means to play all day long. To roam about, travel , eat , sleep, drink are a few ways to enjoy life. There are some new modern ways to enjoy life and find happiness. It includes a whole lot of things whether it is to watch our favourite serials and movies on Netflix, play games online, posting pictures on Facebook, Twitter, creating stories on Instagram and Snapchat. This is not limited to kids and teenagers but middle aged folks and even older people have fallen for social media.
There is no harm in falling in love with social media till the time it does not affect your real life, relationships and physical and mental health. I have seen couples and families going for a dinner and instead of enjoying their meals they are busy on their mobile phones, clicking pictures and updating their status like – ”Dinner with my sweet family or my love” .
The food is on their table but they are making a video on Instagram or Snapchat, finally waiting for likes or views. In this process they forget to enjoy the real life moments. These likes , tweets, comments, views, status, stories have become our lifelines.
Internet is both a boon and a curse for our lives. Anything is a boon when used in limits e.g. sugar and salt both are important for our metabolism, when consumed in limits, beyond a limit consumption of the same may lead to diabetes and high blood pressure. One should enjoy everything in limit.
People who remain active on these mediums are sometimes obsessed with it. They check their phones every few minutes to check the latest updates on various social media platforms. This is called social media obsession. Their mind can’t think more than these numbers. Sometimes they get so obsessed with these stats that they forget what is happening around them. This can be hazardous for their physical and mental health and sometimes they can lose their precious lives too.
I remember an incident where few friends were going for a drive. They were making a live Snapchat video. After a few minutes of posting this video online , their car met with an accident and they lost their lives
It is high time that you should pay attention towards your habits and usage of social media to know about your addiction . Are you really obsessed with social media ? Find out before it gets too late.
Yes, It is really important for you to overcome this addiction because it will never let you enjoy the present. Your happiness will revolve around your online social profiles only. Your real friends will be replaced by your virtual friends. This will lead to less social interaction. Your whole thinking process will be changed. You will not be able to take your own decisions.This is a kind of situation where your mind will be under the control of your virtual personality.
You can not suddenly switch off your all social media profiles, delete all the accounts and apps from mobile.The effort has to be gradual. There are many ways to do so. One of the best to start with is SOCIAL MEDIA DETOXIFICATION.
The early you start better it would be !

I realized that my journey wasn't just about my growth and self-discovery; it was also an opportunity for those around me to learn and evolve.
CW: Mention of Suicidal Ideation and Depression
In the depths of my soul, I am Jessica Care Moore. This is the story of my journey, a tale of resilience and self-discovery that has shaped the person I am today.
From the tender age of 13, I found solace and joy in wearing female clothes. In the secret corners of my world, I would slip into my mother’s garments and gaze at my reflection, my lips adorned with her lipstick. I loved myself as a girl, and that love was pure and unwavering.
In a recent interview, Shahid Kapoor said he finally figured marriage all out. According to him, a woman marries a man to ‘fix’ a messy life!
Shahid Kapoor shared his thoughts on marriage in an interview with Film Companion. He said he finally figured it (marriage) all out. Marriage is how a woman enters a man’s life to ‘fix’ him.
“This entire marriage thing is about one thing: it is that the guy was a mess and the woman came in to fix him. So the rest of his life is going to be a journey of him getting fixed and becoming a decent person. That’s pretty much what life is about.”
But this is not the only problematic thing Kapoor said. When asked about which role of his, Mira Rajput, liked the best – actor or dad, he gave a not-so-funny answer. He said he’s not sure, but he’d hoped she liked some part of him.
