More Self-Care…Less Phone Addiction

lcscarlett957

What would you change about modern society?

Modern technology has grown so much over the century…

It has done a lot of good in the world. But it also has done a bit of bad, in more physical and mental aspects.

Technology is a wonderful tool.

But it can take away from real connections that were once there previously.

As I was a kid and I got on the bus, people were laughing, even strangers talking to each other and it was interesting. With meeting new people and having fun or any experience.

Now, as an adult and 2025…

I get on a bus, and everybody’s glued to their phones.

Either looking at them for thirty minutes straight or it’s just mindless doom scrolling on social media.

Even my parents can’t put down the phone to acknowledge my presence while doom-scrolling Facebook videos and looks at them all tge time during social events.

And then I get home and you know, they can’t even look me straight for 5 minutes.

So I would change a little bit about modern society may be more attentiveness.

Put in a smartphone feature where the phone is not active until two or three hours of the day have passed.

And even when you go to bed just so that the moments that are meant to be shared are more meaningful.

Variety of Genres

What do you listen to while you work?

Sometimes, when I am trying to relax at work a bit….at times I listen to a variety of music that depends on my mood and atmosphere…

If I want to wake up because I’m feeling bored…I listen to one of my playlist on Spotify called Throwback.

Old songs that just make me wanna get up and move my body.

If I want to feel reminiscent, I listen to a Bollywood music playlist of songs that I love both fast and slow because it’s part of my childhood.

If I want to feel a bit pumped up then I listen to anime music, cause its part of my pre-teen years to now that I would like to give it a listen and make me smile

Music is a powerful thing that I love 😁

Foodie by Choice

lcscarlett957

What foods would you like to make?

What foods would I like to make?

Huh that is a tough one….

Well, I would say a little bit of everything since I’m a beginner foodie…

First I would write different types of breakfasts to see what kind of flavors are there?

Especially with the various amounts of breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Would love testing out different cuisines, American and Mexican. I’ve been loving Thai recently. Chinese, a little bit of Portuguese eating even more cuisines from my culture, which is Nigerian. But since I did see some Japanese food that I would like to try as well

A favorite of mine to try cooking is…

  • Butter chicken
  • Efo Riro
  • Thai Red Duck Curry
  • Vegetable Stir Fry
  • Homemade Ramen
  • Mapo Tofu Noodles
All Around Cusines

Doom Scrolling & Movies

lcscarlett957

Which activities make you lose track of time?

Time…. It’s always one of the most important factors in this life

Unfortunately for me, some of the activities that make me lose track of time aren’t healthy.

Yup, I do doom scroll with social media, YouTube, Shorts, Instagram, or TikTok.

However, I do agree, there are good habits that I sometimes lose myself in too. And then time goes by.

Like reading a nice book or watching my favorite anime and manga and movies.

Sometimes cooking, is a new hobby of mine. But it does help lose track of time.

Dishonesty & Inconsideration

lcscarlett957

What bothers you and why?

Things that bother me is when people aren’t being honest or they’re very being inconsiderate without considering the other person’s perspective.

With the dishonest issue, it’s when you know, no one is telling you the truth?

It gets me scared and cautious that they can do something bad.

For me, it’s like they’re putting on a fake face, and it’s hard to tell who they really are, but you want to keep your distance.

The other factor of being inconsiderate is that each and every person has has his or her situation that they’re dealing with that nobody knows about.

Everyone has their opinions in public and private settings. And I’ve always seen, in bad situations, people get blamed for something that they can’t control, or the other person doesn’t know about what’s going on.

A few good quotes that I’ve always learned even especially in delicate situations is…

Don’t judge a book by its cover.

You never know what somebody is going through until you walk a mile in their shoes

Certain Things That is Inevitable

lcscarlett957

List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain.

Everyone is Going to Pass On

  • No one is immortal, we are all just living our lives until the time that we are gone from this world and pass on…

    Knowledge is Around Some Corner

    • No matter what age or situation you are positive or negative. At a random point in time, or multiple times throughout the year anyone learns something that helps us all grow…

    Creation of Money is Good and Bad

    • Money is one of the most important factors that has changed the world for the good and bad.
    • Good: It’s essential to obtain many things for usage
    • Bad: Can be corrupted in more ways than one….Plus taxes

    People Change People

    • One thing that I know for sure is that as all of us are growing up and interacting with others whether it be your family, friends, teachers, or a stranger on the street, or a nice driver sharing their wisdom. People grow especially from other people with learning something new or being inspired to do something.

    Nothing is Perfect

    • Sometimes people have good days with the biggest smiles and all things fall into place like the yin…But no matter what happens there is going to be a yang where a person has their downfall and goes through rough times. It’s just in balance. Nothing is perfect.

    No One Can Be in Complete Control

    • It’s hard because everyone expects things to work out the way they planned and nothing can go bad. Wrong. There is gonna be a factor in any situation that a person cannot control. But they just adapt and plow through…
    • You cannot control others…no no matter how much you want them to change. You can just let them be and let them decide what they want for themselves

    Constant Change…Everywhere… Anytime

    • No matter at any second, things in the world, a country, a nation, or a single person can change in a snap…

    Time Moves Fast

    • Time is quick…speaking as we are in July of 2025. Half the year just blows by in the blink of an eye. Don’t waste it, go for anything you want to do and live out your life so you don’t look back and see days or years full of regret and sadness

    Help is always needed

    • At any point in time, a person’s always going to need help whether it be from online, whether it be from a coworker, a random person on the bus, a family member, or somebody close or a friend. It’s always going to be at one point hard on one person to take, so it’s good to ask for help.

    Mistakes Happen

    • Everyone makes mistakes….it is unavoidable. That’s ok. We just learn from them and the consequences.

    Screen Time

    lcscarlett957

    What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?

    I can let go of going on my phone for most of the day and most of the night for the sake of harmony, and my mental health

    The bad part of the dopamine has started to affect me very badly….

    Especially my energy levels and importantly my well-being so I have to understand that it’s okay to let go of and I was just trying to keep myself entertained.

    But in reality, I was just jeopardizing my mental health and I need to move forward.

    The Little Things Matter

    lcscarlett957

    What’s your definition of romantic?

    In my terms… romantic doesn’t have to be the big or huge grand gestures to show affection to a person.

    Those are okay in a while…but not my definition

    For me, it’s just the little things that do matter. Because they impact the person more than they thought, they did.

    Hmm, for example, if my partner cook something from me after a long day.

    Or us doing activities together that will help strengthen our bond and have great quality time.

    Or even helping around and remembering just unique things about me that I forgot a long time ago that would be a good romantic gesture.

    Hmm, a definition of romantic is a small or even medium gesture to show that he cares about me.

    One person asked me, would you rather accept a $5000.00 designer or exclusive roses or a good evening dinner out/a nic3 trip with a small gesture with a single flower that meant something to you?

    I chose the second option. Because it really reflects how the person it knows me and it’s the little stuff that we can just enjoy each other’s company.

    Why would I waste money or accept something exclusive that won’t last long or that is just the basics when I can have a much more romantic and thoughtful time making more memories that last a lifetime with the person that I will love the most?

    Sweet Salmon & Potatoes

    lcscarlett957

    What’s the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten?

    The most delicious thing that I have eaten was when I was in Dominican Republic 🇩🇴  and one of Riu Bambu Restaurants

    It was a wonderful grilled Salmon with sweet potato fries with a nice chocolate dessert that was like a s’more that I wanted to have more.

    It was amazing because I never had sweet potato french fries with an interesting side, with the taste of the well-cooked salmon made the night better. 😋
