Addiction

Many people are addicted to different things. Some to caffeine found in coffee or tea. Some addicted to drugs;Internet;music;books...There's too many to list.

Actually, I think the thing most people are addicted to is this: BEING BUSY. No, I'm not joking. Really.

Look at your schedule. Isn't it fully packed? Packed full of things that sometimes you liked at first, but over time started not to like, like tuition classes that seemed fun and exciting and full of friends? Or things that once you stagnate for a while and stop improving, it doesn't seem fun anymore?

We always complain and groan "Oh, I'm so BUSY today, I hardly have time for anything at all, like FUN STUFF..." But think, what happens if we take away all the things we have to do? We're left with just the entire day to ourselves. That's 'fun'. After a few days of not doing anything, just loafing about, let's see whether you still think it's 'fun'.

Like it or not, being busy is a syndrome we're all succumbing to. And 'busy-ness' is an integral part of our lives, whether we like it or not.

Being busy is so important. We feel 'lost' without it. Like a large chunk of our life is missing. School takes up so much time. So does studying. But if you remove it, life becomes so aimless.

Being busy seems so important. Being un-busy seems surreal. And tired is somewhere in there too.

Side note to self: Get more sleep before Wednesday(start of exams).

Maybe all we need is a balanced mix of busy-ness and un-busy-ness.
