breaking the cycle

“The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.” I want to use my time.

Quote we all know and love…

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us” J.R.R. Tolkien…. Master quote maker, LORD of the rings…
So timeless, so true. It’s easy for a quote to become cheesy the more you see it on posters, online, on mugs etc… don’t let it! We‘ve been gifted the time, now what are you going to do with it?!

mantra right now

been working hard to internalize a quote i read online recently. it says “the time will pass anyway whether i handle it emotionally or not… how utterly pointless to suffer so much & still choose to be miserable”. reminds me of that old Seneca quote, Something about the man who worries before necessary, suffers twice. when things already suck, i still have the option to be happy & make things better for myself. i know it sounds easier said than done but many times I’ve found myself rejecting this notion when a little bit of kindness towards myself, a deep breath & some patience would’ve gotten me through. every Moment is an opportunity to turn things around & make myself happy. gratitude helps a lot w this. blurting This all out here coz i know it’s an idea ill soon forget once im actually in the throes of a tough time ⭐️

rekindle interest in long form content

I used to feel a similar way spending hours scrolling through instagram and tiktok, which provide quick but unearned instant gratification inherently frying your brain with content. But the way i got out of it was to force myself to consume content that made me wait for the pay off, be it youtube essays, movies, books etc. it makes you regain your attention span to a significant extent and then you feel independent of that need to mindlessly scroll in just a months time. Just be careful to not fall into that rut again. Its a slippery slope. TLDR: just watch a mad man on youtube rant about an obscure piece of media till tiktoks dont interest you anymore.
