Bio

Hey everyone! I'm Papaya and I'm interested in all things humanities - language arts, history, entertainment, travel...you name it. I especially like delivering comedy and humorous writing. 

However, I've recently been suffering from apathy. It sucks that I've stopped caring about improving myself or working on developing an ambition. 

But I'm trying to escape. I'm planning to go on a digital detox for 90 days (no video games, no unproductive Youtube videos) and to focus on self-improvement. I'll do updates every week and if I fail (ex: waste an entire day playing games), I will delete this account. 

I genuinely hope I can emerge from this a changed person. 

Feel free to text me anytime if you want to chat!

Merci beaucoup!

How do you resolve apathy?

...See more Hi everyone, school recently let out for summer and I've been feeling extremely unmotivated. I recently developed an interest in comedy and humorous writing, tried activities involved with it for a few weeks (ex: filming short skits) and then completely stopped.  I also struggle with addiction to YouTube/video games and would much rather waste a whole day doing that then planning out my day productively and doing tasks.  I've tried To-do software/lists, setting goals, website blockers, and even reading horror stories of people who ruined their lives with gaming and Youtube online to make myself feel guilty.  But nothing works. This has been going on for a month and it has been impacting my daily life greatly. I used to enjoy taking walks outside but now that seems like a chore. I've also always struggled with not exercising, not taking care of my skin, and eating too much late at night. I've also been told my fashion sense is terrible.  It also doesn't help that I suck at planning, have no logic, and can only notice problems with myself if someone else points them out. I feel like there is absolutely nothing right with me - I have no ambition, discipline, motivation, or even desire to keep myself clean. If it weren't for certain people in my life, I wouldn't even do any of those things at all. I'd simply rot away and not care while doing so.  That's my vent - thank you for reading :) TLDR: Struggle with a general sense of apathy towards life - need someone else to hold me accountable
