Social Media Is Slowly Dying – And Maybe That’s a Good Thing"


 


These days, 

I keep seeing people talking about quitting social media, turning off notifications, and deleting extra apps from their phones. 

At first, it felt surprising — but now it’s turning into a real trend.


It’s called Digital Minimalism, and it's becoming popular all over the world, including in Pakistan.




What is Digital Minimalism?


Digital Minimalism means using your phone or the internet only for important things — and cutting out what wastes your time or affects your mental health.


Instead of spending hours scrolling through posts, people are choosing to:



Delete unnecessary apps


Spend less time online


Avoid comparing their life with others


Focus more on real life and personal goals




Why is It Going Viral?


Many people are tired of constantly checking notifications and feeling stressed. Social media often causes anxiety, sleep problems, and even low self-confidence.


In 2025, more bloggers and influencers are posting about their "digital detox" and how it changed their lives. They say:



They feel more peaceful


They have more time for hobbies


Their mind feels less busy


They can focus better on work or studies






How You Can Try It


You don’t have to delete everything right away. You can start slowly:


Turn off notifications



Unfollow accounts that make you feel bad


Set a daily time limit for each app


Try using your phone only during certain hours




Even a small change can make a big difference in how you feel.



My Thoughts


I tried spending one full day without using any social media.

 At first, I kept checking my phone out of habit — but by the end of the day, I felt calm and focused. I read, wrote a blog post, and even slept better at night.


Now I’m trying to keep my phone time balanced — not too much, not too little.




Final Words


Digital Minimalism is not about running away from technology. It's about using it wisely, so we don’t lose our peace or waste our time.


If you're a blogger, you can also use this idea to inspire your readers. Many people are searching for peace, focus, and better mental health — and this trend is giving them hope.


Let me know if you've tried a digital detox or if you're planning to. I'd love to hear your thoughts.



Until next post, take care of your mind as much as your phone. 😊

From Thoughts to Blog: "My First Step as a Writer"

Hi everyone!  My name is Aatir Abdullah , and I’m happy to welcome you to my blog. This is my first ever blog post, and I’m excited to start this new journey as a writer and content creator. I’ve always enjoyed writing — whether it’s short thoughts, motivational ideas, or just things I experience in daily life. Writing helps me clear my mind and connect with others. That’s exactly why I decided to start this blog. 📖 Why I Started Blogging There are a few simple but strong reasons why I created this blog:  To Share My Voice As someone who loves writing, I’ve always wanted a space where I can speak freely, share my thoughts, and let others see the world through my eyes. To Connect With People Sometimes, a small idea or story can make someone’s day better. I hope my blog helps people feel motivated, comforted, or inspired — even if just a little. To Grow as a Writer Every writer needs a place to practice and improve. For me, this blog is that place. I want to learn, grow, and ke...

I Didn’t Choose Writing—Writing Chose Me

  It started with a heavy heart and an empty page. ” I don’t remember the exact day I started writing. But I remember how I felt. I was sad, tired, and full of thoughts I couldn’t say out loud.  It felt like I had so much in my heart, but no one to listen. So one day, I picked up a pen and started writing. I didn’t want to become a writer. I just wanted to feel better. I just wanted to let things out. Back then, I was very quiet. I kept everything inside — my pain, my thoughts, and my feelings. I acted happy in front of people, but inside I was hurting. I felt like no one really saw me. No one asked me if I was okay. And then, one night, I broke down. I felt like I was carrying too much. There was no big reason — just small things that added up. I didn’t know how to talk to anyone, so I wrote everything down. I wrote my feelings on paper. It was messy, but it made me feel lighter. That was the first time I felt peace in a long time. > "I don’t write because I’m strong. I wr...

Overthinking: The Battle No One Sees

  “Before You Judge an Overthinker, Read This” There’s this quiet battle that many of us fight , the one inside our own minds. It doesn’t make noise. It doesn’t always show on our faces. But it exhausts us deeply. It’s called overthinking .And sometimes, it feels like drowning in your own thoughts. 🌊 It Starts Small Overthinking doesn’t come all at once. It starts with a small question, a doubt, or a “what if.” You replay a conversation. You worry about something that hasn’t even happened. You imagine every possible outcome. You keep going, even when there’s nothing left to think about. At first, it feels like you’re just being careful. But soon, it becomes a storm in your mind. And you forget how to breathe. > “ You’re not stuck in traffic. You are traffic.” Eckhart Tolle That’s what overthinking feels like. Your own thoughts trapping you. According to a study by the University of Michigan, 73% of people aged 25–35 say they overthink regularly. And most of them say it keeps...
