seriously, if you haven't gone to your local library yet, you're missing out! i try to go every couple of weeks to return books and get more. while i love owning my own books as well, borrowing them from the library is great as well! not to mention what they do for ur local community, the resources they have, etc. all of this to say: go visit your local library!!!

libraries are a super important part of our communities as a haven for knowledge and entertainment! you can check out a multitude of books or other media by owning a library card. using your library card can also show that members of the community (including u) find the library to be valuable, which can possibly lead to more funding opportunities for them. support ur local library!!!

although i'm sure it varies from library to library, there are seriously so many resources! not only books at that library but you can request books to be shipped from other public libraries, and movies, games, music, study/meeting rooms, and mine has a whole computer lab in the basement, which is so sick
and it's so easy to get a library card, my library has an app and if i wanted to i could go and check out a book and not talk to anyone BUT one of my favorite things is chit-chatting with the librarians and kind of building community ya know? and my library has a micro pantry where you can find non-perishable food items and toiletries.
can't believe i haven't mentioned this yet but this is all FREE so yea and i'm located in the suburbs of chicago if youre curious and if for whatever reason something differs from state to state/library to library

it actually isn't that bad!
for a recent assignment i had to go out and draw people in public - just simple gesture drawings, nothing major. and kept forgetting to bring my earbuds at first. i'd get frustrated, yeah, but not enough to go back in and grab them. so i dealt with the silence, and it actually wasn't that bad at all? i mean, i was going to cafes a lot so that helped, but also libraries? places specifically meant to be quiet? and it was great, to the point where i purposefully left my earbuds at home to finish my assignment today.
consider: going places without your earbuds/headphones on purpose

seriously! like put on some background music and just sit there with your thoughts. see what comes up. draw weird doodles, make a world for them, sing to them, whatever. just be weird and bored.
to go directly against what i just said, i have a small pocket notebook i collect quotes/thoughts/jokes/poems/etc that i enjoy, and i go through it sometimes instead of scrolling. it takes a little time to get it to a point where it's useable like that, but it's worth it! bonus points if you print photos out and put them in too, make it like an inspiration notebook.

are you even happy on that app? do you even enjoy (or remember!) what you're seeing? do you exit the app, content with how much time you've spent on it?
if your answer to these are all yes, then by all means, continue to enjoy tiktok, because as long as you're happy with what you're doing, then who am I to tell you what to do?
but if you're not happy on the app, if you're not enjoying your time, or remembering what you're seeing, or if you're not leaving the app feeling satisfied, then I highly recommend deleting tiktok from your devices.
i deleted the app earlier this year when the ban happened and tbh? i don't miss it. the only downside i have is i don't know all of the trends that are happening, but at the same time i also feel a lot more free.
