HI SUBSCRIBERS
1. In my video titled "I deleted all my social media and made a website," I mentioned that I want to create a Discord server. Upon further reflection, I've decided not to follow through with this. My primary focus right now is not RUclips, & I believe that managing a Discord server would require a significant amount of time that I'm unable to commit to at this time.
2. I’ll still try my best to respond to Pinterest messages & answer any questions you have!
3. For the people who used to watch my live streams: I have decided to discontinue my twice-weekly live streams. I might still live stream occasionally, just not to the frequency I used to. But I had so much fun talking to you all on my live streams during the 2-3 months I did them & will remember you regular watchers forever :( ...
4. I deleted many of my videos as I have been thinking more about how much of my life I want to be accessible by the public. I'm new to this RUclips thing so please bear with me as I figure out exactly what my goals are for this channel & how I want to go about accomplishing them through my content.
5. I’m excited to listen to music again :D. Please leave music recommendations in the comments.
6. Thank you for reading this, I appreciate it. Take care of yourself today!

As a musician, even when I’m not listening to music, something is playing in my head in the background
i agree, the only time im not listening to music or thinking of music or playing music, is when i sleep, and i purposefully frequently get terrible amounts of sleep to listen to music 😭

That's a good indicator for undiagnosed ADHD. It's common among musicians.

This video kind of made me realise just how much I've been avoiding my thoughts. I am constantly consuming entertainment out of the stress my overthinking brings me. Videos like these really help shift my perspective. I am probably creating a false sense of fear and missing out on the experiences of sound naturally found around me. Thank you for taking the time to share 🧡
same, i have been recently very depressed and being bothered by intrusive thoughts and i keep trying to block it out but i have to face them, i think not listening to music or decreasing it will help me and i think i should really try it out
this is so interesting bc while i definitely do avoiding with shows and movies. music has always helped me become more in tune with my thoughts and feelings.
Even if you never read any book, these books are very interesting for beginners. Read books like "Ikigai" and "the art of laziness" they are easy to read and it give you complete idea about what we are missing and what we need to do and to have a healthy life. And also this book is really really good "the things you can see only when you slow down" must read book ❤
At 20, I underwent a 10-day silent meditation retreat, I only listened to natural sounds and fellow attendees' murmurs. When it finished and I took a bus, the first song on the radio moved me to tears. I think overstimulation leads to desensitization. Music is really beautiful, but maybe we have to give it space to be fully appreciated. Your experiment for three months is super interesting.
Exactly me except that I'm 16
I've been realizing this lately too that for true enjoyment of music you need to give breaks. Listening too much of it for continued amounts of time makes it all a huge weird mesh of sounds and nothing appeals to you anymore.
@@chimsiho4618imagine how I feel as a music producer, engineer and artists 😂 I don’t have a choice, gotta get paid.
This space thing works in everything
That we do too much
Like watching movie and eating food , social media,memes, trending clothes.....
Specially Food, fasting straight 18 or more hour with no food and water gives good effect on body.
After fasting your all senses will reboot and feel fresh
this is why we get sick often listening to the same songs but once we give them a break they sound good again
I did a similar experience, and what I personally found was that I should only listen to music when it was purely for music. Because when I take a walk and listen to music, I tend to take the world around me for granted. I stopped caring about the sounds of the birds, the rain, etc. It's so meditating to truly focus on nature when you really try. Music is great, and meant to be enjoyed but like anything else in life through balance.
Great & important video!
This is so true, I enjoy sitting on the bus without music now because I like focusing on one thing at once- too much stuff literally makes me feel unsettled! I don't think people are really meant to multitask like this, it's better to just enjoy one thing at a time :)
I have the opposite experience. I usually just start thinking about various life stuff instead of just experiencing being outside if I walk without music 😅
Personally, I like both experiences, but the right music can make things more beautiful as well, music is amazing, but it's true that it shouldn't prevent you from enjoying things without it too!
It's a little different for me, when I listen to music while walking on the street I notice how pretty it is when things are clear in my view. I guess this is partly because I have really bad eyesight and for the longest time didn't wear glasses/contacts.
There aren't any nature sounds to enjoy though, in my city you can mostly hear only cars and stuff.
@@vitaliy1858this! I put on nice instrumentals and it brings the environment to a peaceful scene.
When it’s snowed, the blanket of white on the trees, sounds of crunching snow beneath my feet, and a light swell of the strings and wind instruments, made the listful backdrop of a early morning snowfall~
Then doggo pooped in the snow… walk over now
Can we appreciate how beautiful notes she has made in her notebook for the video❤
right!! so pretty and informative!!😍
No
I'm not only addicted to music, but I also daydream a lot while listening. I unconsciously spend hours doing that. Recently, I became aware of the negative impact and how much time I'm wasting. I tried to cut off these habits, but I just couldn't. I don't really know how to stop it because it's affecting my performance at school as well. I will try to replicate that experiment, hopefully without ruining it like I did in the past.
What is wasting time?
maladaptive daydreaming?
Same it’s so bad that sometimes I could listen to music and daydream the whole day and not sleep
Well for me,
My headphones breaks down few days ago and when I feel like I should listen some music, I suppress my thoughts and think about something else or watch RUclips video.
You can hide your headphones (or give it to your frnd) and delete music apps, try to do meditation and excercise it will help you to build self resistance.
You can also replace music with pod cast and orchestras.
These steps works fine with me
Same
I didn’t listen to music for 3 days and I’ve noticed such a huge difference, usually when I listen to music I tend to daydream and not doing that has made me feel so much better
wait really? im the complete opposite! i cant daydream when the music is on… how interesting!
I have this daydreaming problem too but man I just bought spotify premium yesterday (for next 3 months) I cannot be doing this now 🫠🫠
I tend to focus
I daydream regardless x)
This is why islam forbidden it form us Allah the Creator knows us more than we know about ourselves
So, if you live a life without entertainment such as music, social networking, games, etc., people will tell you it's weird. And it's boring. Now, you might ask, 'What's a life?' For me, I wake up early, work out, study, meditate, all without entertainment, and it's a life that brings me happiness. I have a lot of time for entertainment, but it gives me low energy, a bad memory, and I find it hard to focus on anything
me too
Relatable

@@unrule.I mean - if you can’t live without doing something that isn’t a survival necessity means it is probably an addiction.
@@Astrounwrapped I am fairly sure I and most people who regularly listen to music could go on without listening to music if they wanted to without a problem. It's not on the same level as the actual addictions
I'm going to try this experiment for one month! I think I'm addicted to music too, I listen to it for hours a day and it messes with my dopamine. I'll share my results in 30 days
Commenting for the update
hey, how is it going?
Like my comment when u finish i would like to hear your insight ❤
Listen to Qur'an in Arabic, and you'll be calm, focused, and get over your addiction.
good luck!
Off topic, but you with the whole background, the warm tone of the whole video, it really reminded me of a movie scene.
I thought the thumbnail was
wong kar films or amelie french film?
@@gnrlyj i didn't have any movie in mind in particular, but yeah those are similar to what this video reminded me of.
I already had rain in the background lol.
As a Muslim who stopped listening to music a year ago (following the advice of Prophet Muhammad), I find it fascinating to see non-Muslims experiencing something similar. I have no intention of listening to music again because I can't explain how clear my mind has become since quitting it.
Your prophet was a pedophile but keep listening
Pedo prophet

Exactly but i have gain more control over my emotions bcz if you listen to emotional music you will become emotional for like no reason and vice versa... Yk... it's easy for me to pray with focus now

I'm in love with your videos. The way you explain things is so wholesome and clear.
Last week, I went to a pub with 10 other musicians. I was a bit reluctant to go but it turned out to be nice and peaceful. And then a pianist said: "This pub is amazing, there is no music."
could you explain why the pianist said that please?
@@renlikesfish i would like to know too!
Music that are not listened to is noise. When we chat, we, of course, listen to what each other is saying. It just feels better when not having to talk over noise. Also, it is quite disrespectful to the music itself to have it on, and nobody listens.
@@enochwong654 Thanks for the reply man!
This is EYE OPENING
As a musician I find myself unreliant on music in nearly all situations. I kind of only listen to music in the car, because it makes my mom happy. When you write music, you find music on Earth alone. I love hearing the click of doors in the laundromat and the silent buzz at night. It can be inspiring for my pieces. I create jazz on cello & piano, so the unpredictable style of everyday noise really helps with that.
as pretentious as you sound... as another musician, i agree 😅 theres always music in my head so a lot of the time i dont like to listen to any because it screws up whatevers going on in my head
As a non musician I have always wondered what goes on in y'all's mind to CREATE new tunes and all ... Interesting...
A do the same thing from march 23 to april 23 almost and 😅
Wow that is really cool. I prefer listening between radio stations. Cuz it makes new sounds.
@@TonyMaynard-SDI have similar issue when trying to write music. Admittedly bad music lol but nevertheless, trying to create a somewhat original song is hard when some of my favorite album can auto play itself inside my head
CONGRATULATIONS , It's very brave of you to have done this. I thank you for the video
I really enjoyed this experience, well-constructed, organized, incredible video!
I listen to music at least 5 hours per day, I read about music related stuff, I watch music related content. I spend hours browsing through discogs to find new music.... I really enjoyed this video but it made me realize that I am doomed. I don't think I could ever do a detox
im the same. i dont think i could do a three months detox but to be honest i noticed that when i started talking walks in silence and focusing a little bit on my breath, in a few weeks it helped me be more mindful about it, and concentrate better. i did some research and it's true that exercise helps with adhd or even without adhd it helps with memory, concentration, mindfulness.. maybe that could help you. but at the same time i dont think music 'addiction' is the worst thing to have unless you feel it's affecting some part of your life and you think it's a problem . everybody has different priorities, values, etc
Do you have any album recommendations? Im in the same boat haha, music is an essential part of my life, taking a break from it would be interesting…
No! I've been more addicted and i managed to quit it for good! Cause it ruined my ear n ma life it's weird to say it but music is actually..
Dangerous, stopping it now i can think better, i can focus better lots of things
I rlly want ppl to realize it

Go slowly don't immediately try to go on with out it time your listening and slowly lessen it till you feel you can go on for a while without any
This video made me realize I don't have a music addiction. I'm easily bored by even things that I love, the same applies to music, so I often just take breaks. When I'm doing some of my hobbies I forget about the music, and I don't even notice when my phone dies and the music stops. I generally use music to soothe me because I'm autistic, and get easily overwhelmed be social interactions (my soundproof headphones are a godsend), and I have misophonia (certain sounds cause me mental distress no matter what). I honestly wish everything was quieter around me, no music needed.
me too, today i was doing a hairstyle with music on and then i was like "music is not fun anymore, i will stop because its actually stressing me out"
sometimes i need and over stimulus and sometimes everything its too much
Yeah, I am also neurodivergent (ADHD), and music can either be good, but it can also be far too distracting. If I'm talking to someone, music can interrupt my train of thought and break the conversation entirely. If I'm working on something and can't hyperfixate on it, then music can act as a small steady source of dopamine to help get me through it.
@@nataliasouza8406yall need to listen to ambient music. Start with Brian eno, you will not be overstimulated
Im autistic and music helps me with overwhelming situations too, but I think I am actually addicted to music since it’s a special interest of mine, so going without it for even just like a couple hours sucks for me. I don’t always need music or anything but i need to play it at least a bit throughout my day.
autism isnt real quit
wow, you're so down to earth and have a great narrating voice, I don't know, your videos are gems and I'm glad you exist
I like the video, the presentation, the fire, the lighting, the voice and you.
Same!
My religion prohibits music, and i found improvement in my life when i began seriously practicing. God bless you.
Amin 🥰🥰
May Allah bless you.
Muslim here too. I don't listen to music now, but that doesn't mean that I think music is haram, in fact I don't think it's fully haram. Only the ones with the bad lyrics/themes. What is bad is the addiction to music not music itself.
@Y0za Music, is definitely haram. I think so you meant songs.
The ban on music is due to what it causes us to do. Music that doesn’t involve filthy acts or negative emotions are permissible on festival days and celebrations (like weddings), but recently many scholars have become all or nothing due to how out of control modern music has become. Allah knows best ❤

love the dedication, observation and effort put behind this, really helped me out. Thanks once again for your advice!
As a person who really loves and cares for music. I love having times were it is silent. I love observing every detail of everything around and listening to bird sounds etc. And it really gives me time to process my emotions and asses my life.
As a musician, I think music is a sacred thing in a way.
In mid-age times, music was such a rare source. You'd either have to know how to play an instrument, or listen to it passing through streets. And since it was so beautiful and rare, the feeling or listening gleeful. Just like those glimpses of happiness you described.
So, a time ago I naturally stopped listening to music, because I was using it to blur my boredom, and therefore, choking my creativity. And the most interesting thing is that playing my music felt way deeper than it used to. Music had gained that sacred feeling again, and it felt easier to just compose, because I neither havd others artist to compare myself with, nor I was stunned by the overconsumption of it.
I felt...more alive, and less stressed, when music was my sacred thing, and not a constant whirlwind.
I hope it helped!
Have a great day!
I keep the best music in a list called "listen rarely", too precious to get used to!
For many cultures music is embedded into their way of life, ritual and song passed down through generations. The sound of a drum was absolutely sacred, not even just something heard in the streets. But it was active, not passive, like music can so often be now
id go crazy if i dont listen to music for few hours let alone few month! hats off for dedication!
Then that's why you need to detox.
@@Theonly_Onyx where's the proof it's bad tho
@@deliriumnights13:05
@@deliriumnights anything too much is not good
@@deliriumnights It's not bad. It allows you to take a step back to see what you've been ingesting.
After I detoxed entertainment, I was able to enjoy very simple entertainment. But I was also able to see how much negative stuff I consumed.
It's like when you detox marijuana, you can get high off of less marijuana.
Now I can appreciate art a lot better while understanding when I've had too much of whatever that may be.
I find it incredible how you explain things in a simple and scientific way. Your cute drawings and illustrations are eye catching. Thanks for this experiment.
this is so well structured and well articulated ! Really loved listening to you
I suggest when you show the outline of the video on the notebook, you can show it like you do and you can also cut to a scene where you show the notebook only, so we see it cz it's honestly well and neatly written, like prettily put together
I agree with this as well
If you’re on a mobile device you can zoom into the screen but I agree for like computer purposes
This lessons apply not just for music. I think people today (including me) are using entertainment as a form to escape reality. We shouldn't stop doing the things we like, but start realizing if we are doing it genuinely or if we are using that form of entertainment just to not feel certain emotions in our lifes.

You are so real and understandable. I really like your note-taking skills ♥
Thank you for existing. Subscribed❤
I remember when I was studying music in college I got so sick of all music and sounds (including podcasts). I started driving and walking in silence, I still do this but I can handle music and sounds a little better now
Interestingly, something similar happened to me. I felt music was simply too much for me at one point, and venered it from a distant perspective.
I am not exactly sure how am I going to work this out but it's interesting to read your take on this.
I thought I was weird for doing this, so I’m glad others do the same 😅. These days, I mostly stick to instrumentals
This kind of happens to me too. I’ll go through periods where I listen to lots of “busy” sounding music like rap/pop and periods where if I listen to any at all it’s only calm classical piano.
Really nice to hear other have had this same experience! I don’t listen anywhere near as much as when I was a teen (I’m 22 now) actually haven’t really listened daily in months.
life without music is boring
Music is genuinely my ride or die and only thing that keeps me going thru my darkest time, idk how I’d live without it 🥲💀 I would’ve died without music during some hyper specific hard times I went thru 😭 it was legit the only thing that helped me feel better.
Yeah, that's why I'm sort of interested about what people who felt stress-relieved or emotionally comforted by music in a way that it had let them pass though tough times as it probably resonated with their soul and feelings would feel if they just stopped listening to that very thing. I mean, is it an addiction in the first place if music had gotten a person through tough times, or they call it their comfort or friend?
I hate to tell you guys this, but yes both of those examples are very much addiction. If it is the *only* thing that can get you through challenging times it is an addictive behavior. While an extreme example, if someone is only able to get through their life by drinking alcohol. They are addicted to alcohol. It is important to have multiple ways to be able to deal with life and its stressors
@@dummythin5378 this is not a good take.
That is not what an addiction is.
Relying on family to get through bad times is obviously not an addiction.
Something used for mourning and grieving can become addictive but it itself isn't a sign of it.
There is a certain twinge or rhythm or flavor to how one attaches to something addictivly.
Not all instances of tears is sadness.
Not all deep and close relationships with music/anything are addictive.
@@dummythin5378 having a coping mechanism and addiction are two different things. Alcohol literally makes you feel different and changes you for hours, while music is there as an escape for like 3 minutes (usual song time) and can calm your nerves if something bad is going on
@@dummythin5378 wtf bro
Lrnjuile your videos have given me such comfort that I cannot even express. Not many months ago I left all the social media and started to live with minimum interaction with internet and more with myself and my surroundings. Your videos provide me with a sense of companionship, as they resonate with what I'm doing and experiences I can relate to. I am so glad I found this channel of yours as your videos speaks for what I'm trying to say out for myself.

Leaving music? Can you elaborate on it more please? Why you needed to leave music?
@@Nobody-yx8ogas a moslem, listening/ addicted to music will make us harder to focus on praying, hard to reading and memorizing the Quran, sometimes it could also make us busy in musical hobbies when it's better to have more productive/islamic hobbies, if it's getting more negative it could also brought us to bad hobbies/ carreers environments because Islam want us to work in good environments and connect with good people (which is women with women, and men with men)

I stopped maladaptive daydreaming recently, completely in control since almost a month now. I only listening to music when i wanna listen.. It feels good
But what i realised is, sometimes its good to give in to your desires to
So i do that, i switch on music and start drawing or singing along...
Can immediately stop the daydreaming effortlessly
genuine question, what did you do or to practice to stop the maladaptive daydreaming?
how were you able to stop maladaptive daydreaming completely?
I daydream better in silence and closing my eyes laying down I spent three hours like this and then still be wide awake I don't know why but music actually stops me from getting distracted

You tackled a problem that I actually think is underlooked in our society 🙌🏼 music is so normalized that many people don't stop to consider its side effects
OHMYGOD I NEEDED THIS VIDEO SO BADLY, nowadays the internet is filled with social media addiction, content addiction and all. But no one seems to notice that how much the addiction of music and overstimulation can fuck up ones life.
thanks a lot for doing such an insightful and organized video. I have been struggling with this addiction for past 7 years and my behaviour patterns are so controlled by the devices, social media, internet, endless music streams; I never noticed how badly i lost myself.

I’ve had the same problem and I was surprised about how little videos about this had been on RUclips. I had the problem of being so fed up with songs, but still needing it in the background. So I stopped listening to music just to make my bed or just to get dressed… I also stopped bringing my headphones to school and that’s what helped me the most. Instead of being absent, I was pretty mindfull about life and had many discussions in my head on my way home. Now listening to music is mostly a thing that gets me energized or in the mood for something that I am doing like writing. Even drawing became fun without it, as I realized how pencil makes such calming sounds.
Also as the spring came… I realized that singing birds create better music than Spotify :)
And silence became something that I love.

@@nezahuatez Well I had my right to be. There are many internet/phone detox videos and I thought music would be a discussed issue too.

I stopped listening to music in the car for awhile because I noticed it took me out of my own organic thoughts. I noticed I listened way less when I really got into meditation as well. I think presence is a resounding reason. Phones/internet can really take us out of what’s around us
ALSO, words are power and when you subject yourself to someone’s lyrics, you’re allowing them to speak to your soul (happy music, sad music, inspiring, etc.)
That's crazzzy "allowing them to speak to your soul"
This is absolute fax
the second part is very true (coming from someone whose religion prohibits listening to music)
the last part is so true! i just noticed how much song lyrics i didn't really care about really were making a thing in my head. then i made whole new playlists focusing specially on the lyrics and i can tell, it's already making me feel better. we're so exposed to sadness, anger, crisis, doubts, envy through words people put in songs. it's like saying to ourselves we are living that, even more because music itself, so powerful how it is, makes us immerse in its proposal
Haan sach kaha bro❤
I love this video.
Nothing overly fancy. Nothing too processed. Just amazing information dissemination.
Love it!
These are some outstanding conclusions you came to. Very eyeopening thank you for this banger of a video
thank you for closed captions !!
I'm astonished at how beautifully insightful this is.
this video is so inspiring. thank you for sharing your experience 💗🐛🌴🦋
Really liked this experiment and great presentation. I agree. A lot of people forgot about the sound of silence. Glad I got your perspective on this. Great work. Thanks :)))
I love it how your videos are so cozy, it makes it easy to watch and learn
Such an interesting video! I’ve been an avid music listener ever since a young child and I’ve been creating music for about 4 years now. I’ve always felt a connection to music and I’ve never really thought about myself having a music addiction even though I listen to a lot of music. There are times where I get tired of listening/creating music so I take breaks. What I find when I come back from those breaks is that I’m more engaged in what I’m listening to and I have creative ideas flowing. I also like to pay attention to sounds around me because sometimes you can find little melodies or rhythms of things you never thought you’d hear if your ears aren’t attuned. Anyway, thumbs up on this video and thanks for sharing your thoughts. 👍🏼
love your explanation so much, it is like reading an articel of some journal but make it a vid t__t thank you for making this vid! so gratefull it pop up on my timeline. on my own personal thought, i agree abt the emotional clarity, when i’m happy and listen to sad music it affect my mood and maybe my body was confusing, and sometimes idk what i actually feel and when i stop listening to sad musics i felt more relaxe and full :)
There are very good remarks about the topic, instructional and well coordinated, loved your vid
This channel is... well thought out!
I love your efforts to bring a big change!
Thank you so much!
I really loved your style of notes.
you are so prepared i love this 😭you deserve the world
this is incredible!!! so thorough and detailed and very well made!! genuinely amazing job :)
I love the unique way you make your videos, gives a calm and cozy vibe. Thank you for this great video!
Thank you so much for the Experiment and the Work you but in it!❤️
You’re so precious and this video was so interesting!!!
The content apart, you remind of the old youtube i loved and cherished. I'm so glad RUclipsrs like you are still on with this style. Love it.
you’re so comforting, i very like that there is no sound effects or music on top of video. i very like that you make these presentations on a paper, it’s very nice, it must be you spend so much time for that but still enjoyed it at the moment
for 23 minutes i feel like i talk with a friend
Music addiction?!? I wasn't aware of it. This video and the comments that followed opened were eye-opening. Thank you for sharing it.❤
i really love this video format, it feels intimate, comfortable. so refreshing. ✨
this was really interesting!! thank you so much for sharing your experiment/research...music addiction is definitely an overlooked addiction
I stumbled upon your video a while ago and at first ignored it because i couldn't accept my addiction but after watching it i found the content to be extremely informative for me
Thank you so much for this! As a person that spends every single minute of the day when I'm not in class, this really struck a chord with me. I too have found that simply having my headphones off and enjoying natural sounds prove more rewarding to me than drowning out my emotions in sound--I'm really thankful to have come across this video to show me that!
I'm definitely going to stick around in case you try something else that's novel, yet fairly normalized otherwise. I was really curious about the repercussions of having a music addiction and this video definitely demonstrated just that!
such a well structured video, love it
i love the part of emotional confusion. thanks for making this video! subscribed and looking forward to more :)
This is a great experiment. Thank you for sharing your journey
wonderful and informative video!! your room looks so nice and cozy oh my god... perfect for a room tour lowkey
May be a bit off topic from your video, but I really love your energy. The positivity and smile is contagious of yours.
Excellent video, definitely been addicted to music for a while without realizing it, thank you for sharing this ♥
this is an amazing experiment, thank you so much for sharing all your findings
Thankyou for sharing such an interesting experience and observation
I looove, love the format of your video - meaning the use of notepad with beautiful notes. That's so amazing. I'm also in awe of your background - looks soooo cozy
I really needed that. Thank you❤
music is only restricted in islam if it leads to alcohol or sex
I have been suffering from music addiction for many years. This video gave me great awareness. I really needed this✨✨
thanks for putting the references in the description
I've recently fallen into a weird place with music where I only listen to breakcore/experimental music which usually doesnt have lyrics to relate to, but they instill a weird disassociative feeling onto the listener. It's become a new kind of background noise to my life which violently blocks out my emotions. This video has been a pleasant reminder to myself that I should probably take a break from it all and actually process my emotions since I didn't want to bottle then up until I explode again. Thank you for this video
I love your sense of humour haha
I never considered that listening to music could be an addiction so I'm glad I clicked on this video-really insightful!!
I think it's amazing that you took your time to do this and the diagrams too
Your explanation is just wonderful
Lovely, love the way you think about your feelings
I kinda got hooked on your personality while watching this, you feel like a friend passionately and excitedly telling someone about something you found out about over the weekend
Thank you for making a video like this!
It's nice to see a real person making a video just talking into a microphone and saying what they think, not reading off of an awkwardly written script.
I wish other people made this style of video.
What a sweetheart, i hope there is more like you out there.
As a Muslim I find this really helpful
Yeah
I second this
Frrr
Try leaving religion for 3 months
And let me know your experience
@@AchillesSeverus I’ve been out of religion for many years and it didn’t serve me well so no thanks lol. Very happy with my faith and religion ✌🏾 Alhamdulillah
Commenting for engagement, such an interesting topic to explore and your energy is so sweet 🥹
