My motivation

Fundraising for cause areas including:

Mental health and suicide prevention

What I will be doing is growing a moustache and detoxing from social media by deleting apps like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and X off of my phone for a whole month. I will still be able to access it on my laptop, but not on my mobile device.

I just started the challenge and I realise how much of a distraction social media is. It takes you down a rabbit hole where you don’t want to end up. Sometimes doom scrolling affects the mental health and as a result, people feel as if their life is ‘doomed’. And unfortunately, they feel as if their life has been ‘wasted’ and they resort to unfortunate actions. We need to come together as a team, a community to reassure those people that you are NOT alone. We all have been down in the pits of mental health. Take it from me. Late 2020 was a time of being stuck in limbo due to my mental health being so low. Years later, I advocate for Movember as a way of spreading awareness about the importance of mental health, and even physical health too.

If you would like to donate, then feel free to do so. Have a healthy and happy day!

How I'm
getting involved

Starting:1st November 2025

Giving something up

I have given up social media on my phone as a way of detoxing. This is to prioritise my mental health first. I will still be able to use social media on my laptop, but not on a mobile device.

Social media detox from phone - Day 25 (25/11)
To explain YouTube being there, I’m buying a new PC and researched a video to see if it was compatible with Logic Pro. Besides that, did not even use it on my phone at all.
