Dear Diary,
there was an art work created by a classmate of mine, it was an audio piece, in the narration it said something like this: "It has been a long time since I last time felt bored, and I'm waiting for the boredom to come back to me..."
Somehow, I felt so touched by this phrase that it keeps coming back to me after two years.
I really missed the feeling of having plenty of time and not knowing what to do. When I was a child, the time belonged to me. I don't need to worry if I was doing nothing. The time is just there, unlimmited.
But now that I'm older, it seems like there's always a better way to spend my time than what I am doing at the moment. I'm always unsatisfied, unsure, worried about if I've make use of all the time, make GOOD use of it.
How is it possible to make good use of time, all the time? and who defined what's good or bad?
I really really missed the time of boredom, of nothingness.

Hi Houtha,
I think nowadays part of the problem is that the internet offers so many things to do and we have to chose which video to watch or which website to read. The sheer amount of stuff that is available is overwhelming and gives us a constant feeling of missing something when choosing to do something else. Unfortunately I haven't yet figured out how to overcome this feeling :(
I feel the same way, too many projects and things to do. Even things that we normally should do to relax have become an obligation. My lists of movies to watch, books to read, etc keep growing larger and larger. I haven't discovered the way to find balance and satisfaction either.
True, thank you for replying to my post! it feels a bit more relieve already. @LindasLinguas @AliciaS hope we can all find more peace and relax in our daily life:)
