Informal English: Speaking about Romance and Love

غَالِبًا السوشال ميديا تِعْرِض أَشْيَاء مْفَلْتَرَة مِن الحَيَاة, لأنو الناس يشَارْكُوا الأَحْدَاث المُهِمَّة بَس.
وهَذا الشِي يِعْكِس صُورَة مِثَالِيَّة لحَيَاة بَعْض النَاس اللي هي عَكْس الصُورَة الحَقِيقِيَة.
بَس كَمَان هَذا الشَي يِسَبِّب ضَغْط عَالِي على هَذُول الأَشْخَاص لأنو لازم يِظْهَرُوا دَائِمًا بِصُورَة مِثَالِيَّة.
بِالمُقَابِل, الأَشْخَاص الآخَرِين يقَارْنُوا حَيَاتْهُم مَع حَيَاة هَذُول الأَشْخَاص. 
بَس لِلْأَسَف هذه المُقَارَنِة ممكن تْأَدِّي للشُعُور بِالإِكْتِئَاب.
لازم نِتْذَكَّر دَائِمًا إِنُّو الأشياء اللي قَاعْدِين نْشُوفْهَا على السوشال ميديا ما بِتْكُون الصُورَة الكَامْلِة, وكُل إِنْسَان عِنْدُه مَشَاكِل بِالحَيَاة والحَيَاة المَثَالِيَّة مَا مَوجُودِة!

Mostly social media shows filtered things from life, because people share only the important events.
And this reflects a perfect image of the life of some people which is the opposite of the real image.
But also this thing causes high pressure on these people because they always have to appear in a perfect image.
In contrast, the other people who compare their life with the life of those people.
But unfortunately, this comparison can lead to the feeling of depression.
We should always remember that the things that we are seeing on social media are not the full picture, and every human has problems in life, and the perfect life does not exist.

Les cailloux blancs
Il faut faire quelque chose pour mon papa taupe qui creuse tout le temps. Il se perd dans ses galeries! Il ne trouve jamais son chemin. Ce n'est pas rigolo. Alors, comme je suis une petite taupe très intelligente, j'ai eu une bonne idée: j’ai semé des cailloux blancs derrière mon papa qui creusait. Comme ça, nous retrouvons tout de suite le chemin de notre salle à manger souterraine! Pour les taupes, hip! hip! hip! hourra!

In this episode, I reflect on Episode 1 of Season 1 of the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, titled "Cruelty."
The tragedy that struck Tanjiro, the bond with his sister Nezuko, and the sudden appearance of Giyu — it was filled with powerful, emotional moments where feelings clashed.
How did you feel in that moment when your heart wavered?
Let’s take a moment to savor the lingering echoes of this powerful story together.
Original story by Koyoharu Gotouge, directed by Haruo Sotozaki, animation by ufotable.
The first season of the TV anime aired in 2019, with a total of 26 episodes.

When we see English learning as a vocation, we are required to change our thinking. To see ourselves as having positive visions of the future instead of negative affirmations of how bad our English is.
