On wasting time
I look outward and I find supportive people around me, then I look inward only to find
my worst enemy. Sometimes I criticize myself harshly, especially when I waste time.
Many might think wasting time is a normal issue, but for me it's a cause of
distress. Everyday I have to follow a certain ritual of reading, watching documentaries
about science or astronomy and resuming my online courses. And if I didn't perform
this kind of ritual, my inner enemy starts to judge me, to belittle me, to torture me
for not being worthy enough. I try to calm it, but this little monster starts to blame
me for all the time I had wasted on depression and anxiety. Only when I do this
ritual, I feel merited, I feel I can be something in the future.Sometimes I want to
thank the little monster for pushing me further, other times I want to suppress it for
pushing me too violently and mercilessly in times I feel vulnerable and forlorn. Doing
this ritual keeps me distracted and far from being depressed again, that's why my
little monster and I disdain idleness.
"Take one day; share it into sections; to each section apportion its task: leave no
stray unemployed quarters of an hour, ten minutes, five minutes- include all; do each
piece of business in its turn with method and with rigid regularity. The day will close
almost before you are aware it has begun; and you are indebted to no one for
helping you get rid of one vacant moment: you've to seek no one's company, conversation, sympathy, forbearance; you have lived, in short ,as an independent being
ought to.'' Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte0 votedAugust 18, 20152Hi Daryl,
I'm going to the cinema this afternoon and I would like to know if you can to come(puedes añadir) with me. I want to see the film 'A Beautiful Mind' but if you don't like it want to, we can to see any a different film. Can you come at six o'clock? I hope your answer. (Literalmente, es "I'll wait for your answer" pero es raro en inglés. Es más común para sólo decir "Thanks" o "Thank you")Bye,
Alberto.
