hi, kapatid! if you’ve been contemplating on resting or taking a break or becoming inactive or closing your account, maybe my thread could help you out? i’ll just share with you what i’ve learned during my social media detox. medj mahaba hehe sorna in advance.
observe. don’t absorb.try to take control of your thoughts & emotions. easier said than done but please try bc if you can’t control them, they will control you. it’s alright if you tried your hardest & still didn’t succeed. at least you tried. sometimes our mind is stronger—
but that’s ok u can get through this.
whenever ure ready, start making active decisions in trying to improve your mindset & consumption.
be careful of what you think & content you consume (read, watch, etc) u really are what u eat so pls mute or unfollow stuff u don’t like.

know that everybody is entitled to their own opinions and u can’t step on their beliefs. respect them by letting them be and respect yourself by not stressing over them. your time is too precious, please don’t waste it.
u don’t always have to be strong.it’s normal to feel drained, tired & unmotivated to do anything. esp during these hard times. i know some of u use stan to escape reality or as means of comfort, so negativity could really affect you. it’s ok to not be okay. rest if you must.
listen to ur body.if u still feel like you want to leave and rest for a while then take that break. u won’t feel that way if u didn’t need it. i’ve been putting off my detox for months bc i wanted to go all out on support for the boys bc i want to & i know they deserve it..
but how can we give our best if we haven’t fixed ourselves yet? well, here’s my last point: love yourself first.
yes,
love yourself first. don’t laugh/roll ur eyes at me. i mean it. we think we love ourselves enough but we don’t. we give our all to sb19 but neglect ourselves.

imagine if we gave the love we have for our idols also to ourselves? if we said all the things we tweet/write to them to ourselves? if we do all the sweet efforts for them to ourselves? self-love is more than just shopping, skincare, hobbies & makeup. it’s a non-linear process
of coming into terms w ur flaws + mistakes & being kind to urself. yes there will be moments that we will go down & hate ourselves again but we shouldn’t beat ourselves for things beyond our control. forgive urself. if we can work on it to improve it, let’s go. if not, let it go.
i can go on about self-love but that would drag this thread on, my dms are open if u wanna talk abt it tho. anyways, love yourself enough to know when you’ve had enough (for now) ok? go meditate, pray (if ure religious), workout, revisit old hobbies/talents you quit, anything!
anything to calm ur mind & ease ur pain & worries. u have to take this time to get in touch w urself, w ur goals & w reality. ur time is precious right? make this time worth it. no need to rush. go at ur own pace. take all the time u need. don’t feel guilty. the boys understand.
justin said we should put ourselves first & leave some time and love for ourselves too. ken tweeted not to worry about him too much, we should think and take care of ourselves first. stell constantly asks us if we’ve eaten our meals and reminds us to get adequate sleep
and to be safe in commuting to ans from events. josh’s always updated abt us cos he lurks around a lot just to know how we are doing now & even before during events. he goes the extra mile to reply to us, using his personal account to comfort us. last but certainly not the least,
sejun advised us to find our medicine. for him, it’s music (tysm pinuno for kumunoy, kelan & ikako). so never neglect your health again. look for that cure to fix & better yourself. it may be in the form of being inactive or closing that account. you’ll never know unless you try.
the boys love us & care for us. they will understand & support us esp if they learn that we choose to put ourselves first. in that way, we will also love & support them better & longer, healthily & steadily, no burnouts & no toxicity, bc we have a grip on ourselves & in reality.
so if you choose to rest, we will miss you but we will respect & understand your decision because we’re a family here. we will be here to welcome you back, if you ever go back. do what you have to do. choose yourself, love yourself, whatever you choose to do, i’ll root for you.
but if you think you can do all this w/o leaving or you just want to stay because you’re positive you can, i salute you (i had to go on a break to know all of this eh). you’re strong. if it’s not too much of a burden, pls share your light & strength to our brothers & sisters.
let’s be a little more kind to ourselves and to each other. let’s be each others’ support system. we’re a family in this fandom, right? kaya nga fandom diba, mga kapatid? ayun lang.
sorry nga pala english de spokening dollarz para if mapadpad intl fans kebs na sakanila hahaha charaught wamport it feels good to be back on [stan] twitter c:
