the way i see it is that having goals is the only reason people feel unfulfilled and that what you should do is play life with the cards youre dealt like taking your example ive been scrolling for hours thats already done and gone no need to worry or feel bad if you get my meaning



I totally get that! 

Just sometimes it feels like an addiction (it is) and I've had some myself but this one seems to be harder to get out of so I can't really play my cards, I have to find ways to distract my mind and if not I will stare at grass and that would be enough for me.

Well, kudos to you for being able to admit it!! (。•̀ᴗ-)✧ The first step toward letting go of something that’s not good for you is recognizing it and admitting it without trying to make excuses for it. I’m also a victim of constant scrolling (;´∀`), but I’ve been trying to slowly change that little by little. Beyond the hobbies and activities I can do outside of the internet, I’ve been trying to be more intentional with the content I consume. I try to watch Instagram reels all the way through instead of mindlessly swiping, and I only like or interact with reels that actually bring something meaningful to my life rather than just being quick dopamine hits that leave me feeling drained, even if I haven’t even gotten out of bed (╥﹏╥).

Although I have to say, putting my phone down and just lying there looking at the sky has become my favorite activity whenever I realize I’ve been spending too much time staring at a screen. There’s something so peaceful about just existing for a while and letting your mind wander (´꒳`). And you’re absolutely right; we’ve lost the ability to simply sit with ourselves and accept boredom as something that naturally has to happen at some point during the day. I really hope we can relearn how to be comfortable with those quiet moments without feeling the constant need to fill every bit of silence with something 

Sometimes doing nothing is actually something we need, and I think there’s a certain kind of beauty in allowing ourselves to just be present, even if it feels a little strange at first ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ ).



Thank you for speaking about this, I'm happy someone can also relate! :D

I have also found content online that truly means a lot for my life and it has helped me further into thinking of what should be prioritized within my day. 

I definitely think this should be talked about more, its sad that a beloved machine (technology) can be used to make those addicted to it instead of a learning tool or something that allows us to connect! I have also noticed that my brain is becoming more interested in smaller details with life and what I have been doing rather than existing purely as a meat bag living on a rock LOL.

also with the sky thing, I have been doing that as well! I like laying in the grass at the storm pond near me and just staring at nothing and listening to the ducks!!!
