So I terminated the account I had owned for seven years and was finally free. But now what?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After years of being chronically online, I realized how much time I wasted scrolling through nonsense that, in the long run, didn\u2019t add anything to my life. I was empty, impatient and barely knew anything about myself and the world around me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the first time, I was present. I could think about my own thoughts, recognize behavior patterns, and change habits that I wasn\u2019t fond of.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With more time to kill, I discovered my love for storytelling through cinema and literature. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I want to emphasize reading here.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I often hear excuses about why people don\u2019t read, the most common is, \u201cI simply don\u2019t have the attention span.\u201d I, too, used this excuse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout my life, I\u2019ve made many attempts to read habitually but failed; I convinced myself that I was simply too stupid to sit down and read a complete book. However, with the extra time I acquired by deleting social media, something had changed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I started learning to navigate through my mind and be more productive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your brain is like any other muscle\u2014you have to build it up. That requires patience, something we don\u2019t have because of the instant gratification being online offers us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Determined to build my literary muscles, I sat down and started reading. I was only able to get through two pages. Eventually, two pages became four, six, eight. Now, I can confidently read 20-30 pages in one sitting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That accomplishment led me to enroll in the <\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mdc.edu\/sedt\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">film program at Miami Dade College<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 2023. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This spring,<\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/author\/sean-yakobson\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I started writing columns<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Reporter<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The old me wouldn\u2019t believe the things that I\u2019m doing at 25 years old and it all started with a decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Growth demands mindfulness.
