    Recently, I deactivated and locked my Twitter account, and I also deleted the app. To be honest, I've been feeling pretty anxious lately. Looking at the various depressing, nihilistic, successful, funny, and sarcastic tweets on Twitter gives me a sense of unease. I don’t know when I’ll reopen it, but I feel like I’m reaching my limit.

    Instagram feels much better to me. I can check out photos and updates from friends, share my own pictures, and little moments from my life. Although there are a bit too many ads, I don’t have to constantly face those glaring tweets that make me feel sorry for myself.

    Maybe deep down, I still feel like I’m always falling short compared to others. I used to treat Twitter as a venting space to record my life updates and express my emotions, but lately, I’ve been increasingly concerned about follower counts, likes, and retweets. Even though I tell myself not to worry about it, I still find myself wanting to check those numbers. This mindset has affected my routine for several weeks, and on top of that, I face criticism from time to time.

    It seems that Twitter has gradually transformed into a platform where successful people and those with wit dominate the conversation. I often see their tweets on my timeline, which makes me less inclined to open the app and heightens my anxiety. Saying the wrong thing can lead to being retweeted into oblivion, and even locked accounts can be screenshot and shared, while accounts with many followers can sway opinions. After a while, it feels like everyone is living on the edge of reality. Why should we further harm ourselves on Twitter?

    Having spent so much time online, I hope to connect with others in a normal way. While I know I’m not someone who enjoys being in crowds, engaging with interesting people always brings forth new ideas.


    Japanese songs have a distinctive quality for me, which is their incredibly nuanced emotional expression. This applies to both the melodies and the lyrics, perhaps due to the nature of the Japanese language itself. It feels quite fitting for my current situation; I’ve been really enjoying songs from the nihilistic genre lately.

    This particular song has a rather bleak title: "Who needs youth, anyway?" When translated into Chinese, the lyrics lose that unique feeling present in Japanese. Here’s the Spotify link:

    There’s nothing particularly depressing going on, yet I still want to scream.
    I hate waiting for trains, the school at night, and the taste of sunset.

    Let’s just toss summer aside. Who knows what the future holds? Pretending I didn’t hear the sound of fireworks, I really can’t articulate anything. There’s no joy at all; the festival is finally coming to an end.

    These lyrics and melodies feel more authentic, don’t they? Looking back, my youth was truly a mess. I spent three years in high school studying, and my university life was even more chaotic.

    Whether it’s friendships, interpersonal relationships, or romance, nothing has gone smoothly. Listening to these nihilistic songs during such times is incredibly liberating.

    Yeah, I know you might think that youth always comes with a bit of bitterness. No, it’s really been terrible; three years of a routine filled with morning classes and evening tutoring.

    When choosing songs on Spotify, I find the lyrics hit home so hard; life is really tough.
