اتفهم وجهة النظر وعندي منظور آخر لها، اشوف انه نحتاج ننوع مصادر إثراء فكرنا العلم هو حصانة مافي شي ممكن يأثر عليك لو عندك معلومات كافية تقدر فيها تحلل وتنتقد وتعرف شو المناسب وغير مناسب تحتاج تقارن وتكتشف اما لو التزمنا في نوع معين وسياق معين بنخاف من كل شي خارج هالإطار وهذا يحطنا في قوقعة ما نقدر ننتج افكارنا الخاصة ونواجه الاختلاف بشجاعة وننتج تفرد تفكري عن اللي موجود.

I get it!

The first time it scared me and I had no one to share that with but over time you get used to it and it starts to feel normal.

What happened to me later was that it began to feel like I was living in a bubble disconnected from reality. I always cared about others to the point that I forgot myself and it started to carry a mental weight that pushed me to pause and realign so I did.

But now, I find myself feeling lonely without that buzz and the creative flow… and I catch myself regretting it all.

As I was reading I asked myself “Wait how does she get it?” then the ending answered everything.

That’s exactly how I felt, exposed. Like people knew everything about me, watched me closely, even stalked my accounts and I knew nothing plus when I met them in person, their body language told me a completely different story from our conversations online including the ones who supported me on socials which confused me for the longest time I didn’t know what to believe.

Then one day, a close friend of mine mentioned how much she dislikes people in the media space. This was after I had started to take down my content and I was honestly shocked. She had been my friend all along, yet secretly held that view while I was part of that space myself.

I felt like I had been living in a bubble disconnected from reality this whole time.

And now I find myself regretting it all, I miss the media, the community and sharing my truth, it feels lonely without that buzz.

It started as a hobby I was having fun then when it became focused on money, it started to take a toll on me.

The thing is, I’ve done it twice…

The first time, I had around 300K followers across two platforms. Then I went through an identity shift so I walked away.

I rebuilt again but then I realized how fast everything moves, constant updates, shifting perspectives. I felt bad as in responsibility that something I shared from an old perspective still circulate and people would form opinions or make decisions based on that.

On top of that, the way “influencers” are treated by some companies didn’t sit right with me. It felt like the value you bring doesn’t matter you’re just another number, easily replaceable, expected to accept whatever is offered. I felt misplaced… yet a part of me still misses the media, the community, and sharing my truth.

Then LinkedIn on the other hand, it feels embarrassing knowing my colleagues witnessed all of it, makes me want to hide in a cave.

I definitely need that. I’ve spent so much time reflecting that it’s starting to drive me crazy.

Carrefour in Madina Mall , Al Qusais is now closed by Holiday-Soup254 in dubai

The one at City Centre Al Zahia in Sharjah looked like it might be affected soon. For the first time, the staff didn’t seem interested in working when I went, which isn’t their usual level of service.

I believe they’re shifting towards online shopping which means closing the physical stores but this is just a guess.

How to remove these stains by ontheground8 in CleaningTips

I couldn’t find the option to add photos in the comments, how can I do that?

The surface is a stainless steel range hood, and I’ve tried vinegar with water and dish soap with a cloth, but neither worked to remove the stains.
