I'm usually never sick, or at least rarely sick. But now I am. Typical. Especially since it's the weekend. Oh well, at least it didn't ruin any plans. I rarely have plans, too.
I have this constant feeling that I have to be productive no matter what, even now when I'm sick. I can't just do nothing, I can't just waste time. Watch a movie or TV, read a book or play a game. At least not alone. I feel like it's okay when I do these activities with other people, because then I can observe that other people are unproductive too. But when I do these activites alone my brain shouts "OH MY GOD, WHAT WILL BECOME OF YOU?! YOU WILL NOT ACHIEVE ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE!"
And nothing is good enough either, I almost feel like drawing is too unproductive, because a drawing doesn't have as much value as a painting. And I realize that this was it totally "outcome-based thinking", instead of just enjoying the creation of art in itself.
It's quite exhausting, really. I will probably drive myself to madness or at least chronic fatigue syndrome, or something.
I probably think this way because I'm so many years behind other people my own age, in terms of education.
Do you ever feel this way? Maybe I just read too many motivational blogs.
