My five favorite apps on my phone are Reddit, YouTube, Newsbreak, Google and the Play Store. Reddit and YouTube are my most common used apps. I use Newsbreak for the occasional news. Google is Google and the Play Store because I genuinely couldn’t think of anything else I really use my phone for besides the first four apps.

Daily writing promptWhat’s a moment when a stranger completely restored your faith in people?
I can’t recall a specific moment as of lately, but people who go out of their way to help the homeless are angels in my eyes. Those who genuinely do it to help not just doing it because people are watching and so forth. Society as a whole is becoming more and more desensitized to homeless people. And although there are things like food banks to assist, it’s still a mentality of it will never happen to me, until an unfortunate circumstance proves otherwise. For all the bad things seen in the world, there are people doing good in the shadows, and regardless of how bleak things are, there is always faith and hope in this world. It’s just a shame it’s mostly overshadowed for the most part.

Daily writing promptIf your future self could send you one sentence, what do you hope it would say?
Consistency is key, again consistency is key. No one ever gets good at anything but doing it sporadically or within erratic intervals. Someone who does a little bit of something every day will end up better than someone who is more talented but doesn’t put in as much effort. I hope I still have this mentality, and my future self can still tell me this, Cause, I tend to be very inconsistent with my endeavors and such. And even when one is at the top, it’s not an excuse to stop grinding. Life is unpredictable like that, and things can change just like that.

I wish schools taught more practical things such as doing taxes, not the Personal Economics and Finance classes don’t really count. Since they don’t really go into the grit of finance and besides, they are optional not required. Knowing how to change a tire is also a good one that schools don’t teach kids at all. It’s just small things that are parents are expected to teach their kids, outside of school. It would definitely make kids more prepared for life, outside of studies of course.

I believe that saying goes to an extent. Actions done today shape the future of further tomorrows. Not everything is a simple culmination of fate, some situations are just deserved comeuppance, whether it’s in a good or bad lens. So yes, everything does happen for a reason, but it’s a little much to say it defines everything.

Daily writing promptWhat app eats up most of your screen time — and do you even feel bad about it?
Definitely Reddit, and yes, I feel bad about it. Within every 4 hours I spend mindlessly scrolling, I could have taken a walk outside, could have learned a language. I could have read books in that timeframe; I could have done so much more productive things, but I chose to do Reddit instead. Even though, it’s a discussion forum, social media is still social media. Truth be told, as a whole society we all have phone addictions, but no one wants to admit it. We hear common criticisms about kids being on iPads and technology all the time and stunting their brains early, but are we really any better?

Not as of lately, but in general. I’ll do it later or I’ll do it tomorrow when something doesn’t get done that you were promised to have done or told yourself you were going to do. Why, because I tend to do this a lot myself. Procrastination is truly a beautiful thing.

I improve my sleep by going to bed at an early time with no electronics and reading a good book or novel to stimulate and tire the brain into a cool sedative like state for good sleep. The reality is though I do everything to sabotage it. I always go to bed around 11 to 12, and always have a electronic to my face before bed. So, I know my sleep isn’t the best especially considering I’m an early bird, but I do what I can to at least get some hours. I can get away with it because I’m young, but it will catch up to me as I further age soon into my 20’s so I better start developing good habits now then later when it’s tougher.

Yes, chaos is absolutely needed in life. With chaos it allows uncertainty and needless to say it is inevitable in life. Everyone will come across things in life where adaptation is a must. Whether it’s on a job, or maybe a situation where one’s life is in danger. For much chaos is good for one, is up to the specific person at hand. Others thrive while others don’t. I am definitely in the latter, but chaos keeps things from being too static or in other words dull. So yes, chaos is good for us, but the real value of it will depend on the individual.

As corny or cringey as it sounds, staring in a mirror and telling yourself the opposite of the negative thoughts is a great way to alleviate mental pain. Also writing down negative thoughts is also another great way to deal with negative thoughts. Therapy is also another way, although this doesn’t work for anyone since therapy means something different for everybody, therefore there is only so much one can do depending on how private an individual is.
