Complaining
Back in 2011 I was in a dark place. I had just returned to Japan. Earlier that year in March I had been in Fukushima and ten kilometers away from the power plant when it had malfunctioned causing mass hysteria on a world level and more importantly on everyone's minds.

Why Social Media Is Ruining Your Life
When thinking of social media, I can’t help but think of that one person who always acts like your friend, but in reality, they’re waiting for the perfect moment to stab you in the back. Social media pretends to be a creative outlet, but really, it's just there to ruin your life. Now don’t get me wrong, I love scrolling through and posting on social media just as much as the next person, but I’ve come to the realization that is truly ruining my life.

Your Platform
Platform. We all have a platform, especially in the culture of today, where social media seems to run our lives and our every thought can be shared with thousands in a moment. I believe we are severely accountable for the platform we hold. Even if you think nobody cares about what you have to say, or that your platform is 20 followers so it “doesn’t matter,” I believe you’re wrong. Those twenty people who listen to what you have to say matter. I believe they matter.

The Cursed Gift of Technology
I was sitting here tonight after my work shift watching a Miguel concert on my laptop. It was available via streaming by Yahoo Music (huge thank you to them, by the way). Right after his guitar performance, he stops to talk to his audience. Now, all concerts are usually interrupted by a musician’s generic message to “Follow your dreams;" ”Never give up;” You can do anything." Not that these aren’t all positive messages to put out into the world, but these types of speeches are diminutive and usually just a friendly reminder. Then there are some musicians who take this time to speak on something that mirrors the message or inspiration that led to their latest project. By doing this, their words seem more genuine because they’re an artist…speaking on what inspired their art. Emotions, or just a quick revelation, can fill a whole arena when an artist can connect with their audience—similar to J.Cole’s Forrest Hills Drive Tour that I attended a few weeks ago, where he spoke about love. It’s secretly the underlining message/tone of his album. He spoke about love being the inspiration for his album, how his fierce drive and even accomplishments caused him to lose sight of what was really important to him. You could tell that everyone in the arena, including myself, felt his words. Tonight, even through a computer screen, I felt Miguel’s words. Right before he jumped into his track, titled, “ABeautiful Exit” from his new album, Wild Hearts, he calls out all of his wild hearts (fans). He then talks about distractions…negative people, internal situations, but the biggest and most evident distraction may be “right in your hands right now,” he says. Cell phones, social media, television, advertising, propaganda—it’s all distraction.

Why I Gave up Social Media and Came Here
Ah good ole social media... Where we can waste hours of our day with nothing to show for our time. Where misinformed adults and naive teens can rant with the confidence of scholars. Not to say nothing good has come from it, however I believe it in many ways has become the cesspool of humanity. I would challenge any person seeking self-improvement to take a two-week break from all popular forms of social media. Find another outlet to fill your spare time with.

Four Ways to Get What You Want Using Social Media
It is very important to understand that what you put out into the universe, you will receive back into your life. If you put out positive vibrations, by the rules of the Law of Attraction, you will receive positive vibrations in return. This rule works vice-versa; send out negative vibes, you will receive them right back into your life. Here are four ways you can manifest beauty, prosperity, confidence, positivity, and anything else you desire by using social media.

'Chillin’, You?'
“Hey” “What’s up?” “Wyd?” *Insert emoji here* The basic conversation starters nowadays. As I get older, the probability of responding to any texts or messages consisting of those simple words is becoming slim to none. Where’s the depth? Now, I get that, depending on the person, those starters are usually and often effective. But what about what comes after? The basic “not much, wyd?” or “chillin', you?” The world these days is so warped with technology, but why? What’s so intriguing about an empty or dead-end conversation?
