So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

We've been married for almost two months now. We're practically old-ly weds. Best decision I've ever made. In other news, recently I started thinking about how I never have time anymore for all of the things I used to do, like write on this site, or think of weird stories about dragons or what-have-you. I guess I sort of figured that now that I'd grown up and gotten a job at NASA and everything that I was just too busy exploring the universe and organizing people and going places to do all of the more 'introspective' things I used to do. But the more I thought about it, I started to realize that I had effectively no free time to do anything I used to do, including writing, drawing, reading... thinking....? And it had nothing to do with my schedule, or my workload. I used to be insanely busy when I was in high school and college, too. It had to do with social media. I used to do all of the above-mentioned activities when I was bored, and ever since Facebook came along, I never got the opportunity to get bored. I was entertained 100% of the time. Waiting in line at the airport... in a meeting... riding in a car.... In many ways, my life improved because of it. I'm rarely ever impatient anymore, because while I'm 100% entertained, the minutes slip by unnoticed. I don't mind being kept waiting. Neither does anyone else. Our cell phone are our pacifiers, and by them we are easily pacified. Thus far I'd seen social media through that lens--- it was a waste of time, but it passed the normally wasted time more pleasantly. But I realized recently how much of my not-normally wasted time it was wasting. I would come out of the grocery store and check my phone before going home and an HOUR would disappear, the sun would set, my frozen goods would start melting, and finally I would snap out of it and head home, just to get buried in it once I was home. My phone was like that scarecrow in Zelda's Majora's Mask who would talk you and cause the time to pass--- horrifyingly quickly. Your whole life could slip by you that way. So I've been trying to detox myself a little bit. I gave up 9gag cold turkey. That place had always been a mix of toxic and funny, leaning ever more toxic and less funny over the years. Facebook is a harder addiction to kick, and I haven't kicked it completely. But I've been letting myself get bored. I watch my mind wander from my tasks and I catch it by the back of its shirt just as it attempts to exit to social media. And what do you know--- my boredom has brought me back here. It's nice to be back. 1 Comments. Welcome back!! » randomjunk on 2020-11-29 11:35:19
