The Sound of Weekend: A No Social Media Weekend

I'm taking a self-imposed detox from social media today.

I realize that so much of it influences me despite not wanting them to, so I'm going to step away and live a semi-offline life. I can still browse websites, blog, read and listen to music. The trick to surviving a weekend without social media is to just detox from other people's non curated, sometimes angry, sometimes careless posts.

I'd have been catching up with my friend N, and I love how her calm energy is always a welcome, refreshing change from a world that's trying to do all things and everything in one go. She tells me of a yoga class, where she's told, "the world does not owe you anything and you owe nothing to the world." I am guilty of this, and this is evidenced by my 30 by 30 posts. Believe it or not, that post caused anxiety to some people, too. But that thought, of owing the world nothing, is a comforting thought I want to hide behind and cocoon myself into for two days.

So today, I'll quietly go through errands, read physical books, watch movies I'd been meaning to catch, meet a couple of friends for an actual conversation, pray, meditate, enjoy a cup of coffee and tea and maybe a slab of bacon, too.

Here's my song for today, too:

Stay and Wait (acoustic)

Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms, or books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer. - Rainer Maria Rilke

Happy {Inspired} Saturday!
