Most people get bored easily or get scared of living the rest of their lives wasted, you know, not to the fullest. But me, I’m scared of living my life too entertained. It sounds strange, but I get scared of not doing the things I’m supposed to be doing due to distractions (entertainment). Something I fear a lot is not being focused in college, because of all the things I take time to do in my spare time, or the time I take from my studies to be doing other things, like writing this for example or reading books, magazines, poetry, articles, watching films, writing letters, playing with arts and crafts, taking photos, hearing music, taking naps, conversing with people, thinking quietly, playing with my cats, observing the world….
I’m scared to spend my time the way we’re supposed to spend it, pleasurably. I know it’s wrong to procrastinate or take too much pleasure in things and not do your duties, but it’s so hard to not get wrapped up in a good book or movie. Or let your mind wander in things that you find rare or fascinating. I fear entertainment. How can someone ever be bored with everything around us? Why would people fear boredom? It’s always been confusing to me, this question.
