I often wonder why I’m too lazy to post my writings on social media, even though, somehow, I still do it. Also, after checking the posts for a while, I start to feel tired. Actually, I don’t have Instagram, YouTube, or Twitter on my phone. Sometimes I’ll install them for a few days, and then I’ll suddenly uninstall them. Other than YouTube (not Shorts), most social media platforms make me feel drained after using them.

But I’m happy to spend hours here (on my website), and I feel more energized. I know that most views and reach come from social media. But I can’t help myself. When I spend time here, it feels like I’m sitting at home, enjoying myself. But when it comes to social media, I feel like I’m in someone else’s place, and I’m all alone there—even though there’s a loud party with a huge, noisy crowd. I don’t feel welcomed.

As I said earlier, this website feels like home to me—my place, my desk, my stories, and my rules. Spending more time here brings me happiness and, more importantly, peace. I know I’m in control here. I’m not seeking validation either. I’m just writing the things I like, and only a few people are reading them. The funny part is, aside from my close circle, no one has responded to my posts. Yet I still feel happy, and that’s wonderful.

On social media, I think I’m seeking validation—likes, comments—and I just end up waiting for them. Maybe that’s what makes me unhappy. I don’t know why, but I just feel tired over there. Here, I’m writing for myself—not for anyone else—and that gives me a real sense of freedom. I can do whatever I want with it. If someone happens to read this, that’s just a bonus.

So, this is my happy place. I want to channel all my energy into this space, and I want to make it even more beautiful.

After all, this is my home.
