They say hardship builds character, but I am not all that into hardship. I need to get me some more of that character stuff, though. I blame my parents for not instilling in me an appreciation of the value of follow through. Apparently, it’s all in the wrists.
Self actualization is another thing I would like to get some more of, but I never feel like doing anything about it. To all of my hyperactive friends—if I had friends—I would like to ask, have you ever tried lethargy or sloth? Individually they are good, but together they are great. Like, really, really great. They never make you feel guilty about anything.
I get a little rush, on the inside, from canceling previously scheduled plans because it frees up time for doing nothing. If I could find a way to get out of doing nothing so that I can spend more time doing even less, that would be pretty cool.
Aspirations, having them, also something I try to avoid. Wait, is aspiration the one where you suffocate? Because if it is, I’m in.
