In a world where everyone complains about not having enough time, or being too busy to relax and smell the flowers, I feel like an alien. I love being busy. I seriously enjoy the feeling of having something to do constantly. I do enjoy my moments of peace where I am able to catch up on my shows that are clogging up the DVR at home, or just simply binge watching an entire season on Netflix in an entire day. But in the long run, I like having stuff scheduled every day.
That's one reason why I enjoy being in school or working during the summer. Every day I have a class or rehearsal during the semester, and then during the summer I have work six or seven days a week, plus whatever craziness I signed myself up for. Not being able to lounge around is important for me to function.
When I have nothing going on, I feel like a blob. I literally feel like my time is being wasted. When I have something going on, my time matters. When I'm busy, even my time to relax matters. It's not just me sitting down for six hours out of the day to sit on my computer and play World of Warcraft, it's me enjoying the little freedom I have, and I think it makes not being busy so much more enjoyable.
And plus, at the end of the day when I'm on the phone with my fiancé and we're telling each other about our days, I have something to tell him. I'm able to say, "Yeah babe, I did all this today and I still managed to eat three meals at normal times and even watch TV a little."
Being busy makes me feel accomplished. Being accomplished and being busy make me feel alive, and I think that's a way we all need to feel. Live in every single moment. Be busy.
