5 min read

So, buckle up buttercup, because this is gonna be a wild ride through the chaotic landscape of my social survival...

"You remember when I said 'this could never be me, guys'... well, SURPRISE! Today, it's me wai"

Me wai, maximum me energy

Let's get something straight, life isn't just a journey, it's more like a drunk GPS constantly rerouting you into unexpected territories.

I've been thinking about life, about choices, about those moments that hit you like a surprise contribution you don't want to pay. It's fascinating how one tiny decision can transform your entire existence faster than you can say "oh chale". Imagine life as this massive domino effect where one tiny nudge sends everything tumbling into absolute chaos.

Sometimes, you seriously wish there was an undo button.

I'm NOT going to be one of those irritatingly jon people who'll be like, "embrace the journey, learn from your mistakes, everything happens for a reason". Nah. I'm gonna be real: life is hard. Sometimes it's not just hard, it's brutally, comically difficult. Some mistakes aren't just mistakes, they're epic sheges that you can't fix, can't forget, can't even look at without sighing.

How I Make My Grand Comeback: A Totally Scientific Method

Disclaimer: Results May Vary. Seriously.

I noticed I haven't written in what feels like semesters. My Github streak? Obliterated. My social connections? Hibernating. There's just been so much... everything.

I know when I eventually emerge from my self-imposed social cave, I'll have a lot to explain. We're talking lecture catch-ups, two-worded replies if I was feeling generous....
it's not that deep
and the classic Sudden Comeback.

If you've ever gone MIA and tried to reintegrate, you know it's like trying to recover your GPA. Awkward. Painful. Potentially disastrous. But dw... I'll give you my...

You know what?... let's just get into it

...

1. The "Nothing Happened" Diplomatic Strategy

This might sound sus, but hear me out. One magical day, I summon enough social energy to pull off the greatest magic trick known to humanity: acting like I never left. Yesss... and you don't need to be an actor to pull this stunt

I get dressed up. I put on a smile so bright, feeling like the light of the world. And then? I waltz back into the lives of everyone I've ghosted.

Pro Move: Act normal. Unnervingly normal.

Conversation goes like:

  • Them: "Where have you BEEN?!"
  • Me: intentional 30 secs pause ".... anyways, you squad say wossop?

And you know what? It works. People are shockingly forgiving. They don't interrogate. They don't make a federal case out of my disappearance. They just... absorb me back into the social ecosystem.

"I'm back, guys!" "Welcome back, we missed you."

Just. Like. That.

2. The Awkward Apology Tour

This is where things get supremely cringe.

I embark on what I call the "Apology World Tour", going around expressing regret to everyone I've accidentally (or intentionally) ghosted. And let me tell you, these apologies? 50% genuine, 50% performance art.

"I'm sorry for disappearing" - ✅
"I'm sorry for not replying" - ✅✅
"I'm sorry for being a terrible friend" - ✅🔥🔥

Steeze: 100%, Composure: maximum, Blood of Jesus: Omoooooo.

But here's the twist: sometimes, I'm actually, genuinely sorry. Shocking, I know.
But remember, as a graduating adult which means maintaining maximum emotional composure and steeze is mandatory and important. No vulnerability allowed. No sir. We're tough. We're invincible. We're... definitely overcompensating.

"We are not giving Caesar anything"

not me, et al

Aura: off the charts.🗿

3. The Social Resurrection: Life of the Party Edition

This is where the real magic happens. I transform from ghost mode to social butterfly like it's no big deal. Suddenly, I'm not just back , I'm BACK. Random bursts of energy. Jokes flying faster than internet memes. Stories that have people laughing so hard they might need medical intervention. I crack jokes that would make a comedian jealous. I tell stories with more plot twists than a telenovela. I become the human equivalent of some of your relationships.

Again... it's not that deep.

"I'm back, guys!"
Narrator's voice: And boy, was he BACK.

The Eternal Cycle of Social Chaos

So that's my foolproof method. My grand strategy. My life blueprint:

  • Go ghost ✅
  • Feel slightly guilty ✅
  • Make epic comeback ✅
  • Repeat infinitely ✅

It's not a bug in my social software. It's a feature .

I'm back, guys. I'm back.

And this time, I'm here to stay.

Probably. Maybe. We'll see.

Narrator's final whisper: Spoiler alert - he'll definitely go ghost again. 😂🕺💃

Ps: This is not a guide. This is a survival memoir.
