In Your 20s

i'm sure i've already told you that i was single for 18 years. For 18 years, i was waiting for someone who deserves me. like, i never wanted to settle for anything less. until i fell in love and i didn't care about his red flags. this made me realize that when you love someone, you love all of them. more than that, i had this idea in my head that i should be successful and have kids at the age of 28, but that's my idea of life and not what it truly is. for today's episode, let's talk about the idea of it vs it.

have you watched the social dilemma on netflix? well if you haven't, you should watch it. installing social media applications could be beneficial because we could easily access the internet when we need updates. and we are curious species, we always want answers. however, these social media platforms started to update and for years of using it, i saw how social media platforms evolved and they became more addicting. more than that, advertisements also started to show more. even when we're watching news, advertisements almost suck our time for waiting for the news. social media platforms used to be the source of news but now, they are responsible for most of the fake news that are spreading. as someone who belongs in the communication field, i know that this is a major problem not just in my country, but everywhere. should we minimize the usage of social media or should we not? for today's episode, i'm going to tell you how algorithm works, how your favorite application works, and how they manipulate you. i'm also going to tell you the difference between unethical advertising and ethical advertising.

we were taught that being alone means lonely. before, i didn't want people to see that i'm lonely so i hid inside the cocoon of my friends. i was still lonely though, but that's mainly because i didn't know how to be contented with my own company. today let's talk about the art of enjoying your own company, and how walking, baking, gardening, and more of these things could help you love your own company.

what makes a good relationship? when i was younger, i didn't set standards when it comes to a man because i thought it's not important. now that i'm older, i've realized that it isn't for them, but for me. for today's episode, let's talk about why we shouldn't compare our relationship to what we're seeing online, and we're also going to talk about what makes a good relationship. also, why we shouldn't compare our relationship to other people.

to be honest, i didn't learn that much from my crush for 6 years, but i thought it was still a good experience because after him, i never had a crush on someone for that long anymore. i also never had the same crush like that anymore; maybe because it's high school and i didn't have much problems. i thought i'd share my story about the guy that i liked for 6 years, and just reflect on how and where i am now after that 6 long years.

hi, i'm already a 3rd year college student and here are my stories about college. stories about friendship, lovelife, and things i wish i'd known in college. when i was in senior high, i was so excited because i had my own expectations of what college should look like. I WAS DISAPPOINTED but at the same time, i learned how to deal with problems and i also learned a lot more than about our school lessons. so, i thought i'd share with you guys all these lessons and there are more but here for now :D

when i was in senior high, there was a guy who i never really talked to. when we graduated from senior high, i was surprised that he chatted with me on facebook because we never really talked before. i thought this was a funny story because i had no experience with dating when this happened so, i was so anxious and i didn't know what to do. for this episode, i'll also reflect on what i've learned from that date.

hey, listeners!! i've missed u guys :( i was doing a lot of resting because i'm preparing for our finals and i did a lot of thinking. i've been also really enjoying my new routine. for today's episode, i'll talk about relationships and what is needed for a relationship to work. i have always been the person who doesn't reflect on what i like in a guy. so, i thought i'd be also cool to reflect.
