Social network vs Ramadan

Assalamualaikum!

Well, I believe that everyone is aware that Ramadan is the holy month of the year, and it's for us to get ourselves closer to the Creator. The month that's full of blessings, forgiveness and love from the Almighty. Since it is only once a year, which is only 30 out of 365 days, we should be able to make the best out of it. We should give thanks to Him for bringing us towards Ramadan every year, as long as we shall live.

But that's not my main point here. As we all know,  bila masuk bulan Ramadan ni, all our activities that we used to do during the other months should be put on hold. Eg ; watching movies, listening to lagha musics, sleep etc. As well as bashing, backbiting, judging and more. I just think that those things should be stopped instead of putting them on hold though. Because they all started from the social sites, so I get a bit scared to open my twitter, ask.fm and instagram knowing that those things are still there despite of this holy month. So in this 30 days, I am trying to lessen down the scrolling and updating on twitter, because 1. there are still many negative things that I try to avoid myself from getting into and 2. twitter can be so addictive that sometimes you can be on it for hours. 

I've deleted my ask.fm for the second time and I guess the final time. Haha. I don't think I would get myself an account anymore. Because I think it's just a pure distraction instead of being beneficial. One more thing, I would prefer to be on tumblr instead of twitter. I don't know why but I've always loved tumblr. Tumblr has waaaay lesser dramas and negativity. You can actually find peace on tumblr looking at the beautiful photos. But I'm not gonna deny that there are obscene pics on tumblr that you couldn't run from it. Bila come across those pics, I would just scroll the dashboard laju laju je hahaha. Not gonna lie but I can stay on tumblr for an hour without closing the app. 

It's not wrong for us to continue socializing in Ramadan, but it depends on how we are socializing. If the way is right, then I don't see any reason why we should stop. But when we do it wrong, we'll have to think of a way to tone it down a bit. At least for 30 days right? There's no harm in trying, instead we'll get a reward for our efforts. In sha Allah...

Till then, xx
