Diary Entry 26 June 2020
Do famous people always turn out the way I see them turning out? Do they ALL turn out that way?
Nowadays there are many people who don’t live in the real world anymore. Instead of focusing on their own lives, they distract themselves by watching other people’s lives, and if theirs is worse, they feel better about their own.
From day to day I see more horrible things on the internet. The very first time I watched YouTube, was at 11. I always watched funny videos from the same two influencers. Then my horizons expanded and I followed more influencers and today I just watch anything that could be interesting.
I’m noticing that it isn’t good for me. I notice how much is going wrong and how much of it isn’t reality and isn’t real. Sometimes I find out or watch so much, that my brain starts to feel useless and as though it’s about to burst, because I hammer so much false information into it and the light source from my device goes through my eyes, straight to my brain.
Sometimes I think: “How can you live like that? How can you always pretend you’re this specific person and not be who you really are? How can you give up on yourself and your life? How can you do that?” The answer to this is: Most people can’t do it any differently.
There is a series where people film themselves and their lives. Most of it is probably planned and scripted and I think that’s terrible. There is a famous family, where all daughters are rich and famous. I watched one single episode because I wanted to know what’s going on in their lives, at home. The parents treated their kids like babies. The kids – and they were already adults – cried because their parents apparently “didn’t understand them” and everything was “so horrible”. One of the daughters is super well paid and she already has small kids who get everything they want. They wear clothes from the most expensive brands in the world, as well as real diamonds, etc. The entire family is known for how much plastic surgery they have done on their entire bodies.
Do you really have to wear that? Do you feel better then? Are you more special? Are you happier? Everything – no. You can’t buy yourself happiness. Clothes don’t show who you really are. You will still have the same thoughts, worries and feelings you had even without those external objects. And you are definitely not more special. Every person on this earth has a purpose and a task to fulfil, every person has a soul, and every person is loved by God and that’s why we’re all equally special. When you are a bad, rich, unhappy or famous person, you are equally special, as a good, poor, happy or unknown person.
Do you know the yin-yang symbol? It is a circle. It is half white and half black. On the black side there’s a white dot, and on the white side there’s a black dot. The yin-yang stands for the good and the bad, the positive and the negative, the black and the white. They are the same size, therefore equally special. The dot in the black means that in anything negative and bad, also lies something positive and good. And vice versa.
All humans have the right to be on this earth and have a task to fulfil here and therefore we are all as special and important as the next person.
Don’t compare yourself and don’t forget who you are, as you are unique, important and special.
Thank you again for reading! Until then!
