Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

It's just that lately I've been kind of depressed that I've really been doing nothing with my life. I mean, I've basically just been finding various ways to waste my time.

Recently I heard a seemingly-nonsensical quote, "Does killing time damage eternity?" While this may seem to just be a funny pun, it has a good point. I'm wasting time. What if, in the end, my life is ruined because there was something I was supposed to be doing right now, instead of writing this journal.

You be thinking that there's no way that this is possible. But stop, for just a moment. Think about all the hours you've spent watching tv; playing video games; really doing nothing at all; sitting still and letting your brain rot. If you add it all up it'd probably add up to a few years.

That's years of your life that's just gone down the drain. Down the toilet. Down wherever else you may want it to go in a swiring vortex that may or may not cause your ultimate destruction.

Because, just think for a moment, that maybe there was something that could have been accomplished in that time. Something that should have been accomplished. Or maybe even something that needed to be accomplished. Maybe there was some big life-changing decision, that you just... missed, because you were wasting your time.

So yeah, it's been bugging me recently. So instead of doing anything about it I decided to waste more time writing about it here, where no one will ever even read it.

*Sigh* .... oh well. Because to solve the problem I'd have to stop wasting time. But I love to waste time. It's a part of me. I can't give it up. Am I going to be doomed to a horrible destruction simply because I have a horrible vice that I can't seem to get rid of?

*Sigh again* .... Now I'm depressed. Well, I'm off to waste more time...
