Flowing with seeing, sensing the experience. Is this doing nothing or just letting things be? It feels effortless and beyond the conceptual mind. Clarity arises from the conceptual mind resting and making space for this flow. Further seeing.

The truth is that the only time I'm happy is when I'm doing absolutely nothing. I don't understand people who like to work and talk about it like it was some sort of goddamn duty. Doing nothing feels like floating on warm water to me. Delightful. Perfect.

Idk about you all but if i was at that vote and i saw one CEO physically assault the other two rooms over after witnessing their fucked up dynamic in the meeting i would assume he was the also one who put the stitches there in the first place

#succession spoilers #succession #roman roy #kendall roy #that scene went so hard im not going to stop feeling sick over it #no one helping them even though they were extremely visible because they were too scared? #roman and kendall being left alone together even after that display because interfering could cost their job #ewan #their fucking uncle #doing nothing #when he already knew #it really all boiled down to who was daddys favourite and he hated all of them

It's Okay to Do Nothing

I think almost all of us can agree that we wish we had time to stop being productive for the sake of being productive.

For all the years I've tried to get better, mental health-wise, I felt like occupying my time with things to get my mind off the bad stuff would help. Filling my life with stuff to do has helped me tremendously. But then I realize that you can end up comparing yourself to someone who may have recovered and living a possibly better life than yours.

This scene from Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead Volume 8 made me think about how society shames us for being "lazy." It shames us for not doing anything productive. If you're not grinding, you're not winning or so they say. I would make the counter-argument that winning isn't everything and if you're so focused on winning all the time, you start to sound like a person who probably can't handle life when it hits you hard or have good people in your life you can trust when it does.

Life is mostly a bore and for the most part, it's fine. If everything's exciting, then nothing is. I also do know that when people do end up going on breaks, they feel forced to do something fun for the sake of having something to do. Leisure has be natural to work. You don't have to be "on" for those moments.

The scene is also a reflection of the "do nothing" movement, which is slowly making waves among a lot of younger people. I read a book about this not too long ago myself.

There's a fun quote in the end of this chapter where Thomas Hobbes is quoted. "Leisure is the mother of philosophy." Proper rest can lead to great thing and by god, not many of us are getting it and becoming the zombies we love and dread.

CW: im doing a confusing ramble that probably doesnt make sense to anyone but me 😂

Doing Nothing is still a valid and honestly freeing activity to do. Capitalism likes us thinking that doing Nothing is not doing anything, but when the choice to do Nothing is an active decision, it can be really peaceful and healing.

Learning to do Nothing is hard because it is easy to get distracted by something and be removed from the activity of doing Nothing, but once doing Nothing becomes an activity you can choose to engage in, doing Something slowly begins to also feel like doing Nothing.

The peacefulness that comes in doing Nothing and doing Something begin to blur as the skills of doing Nothing begin to translate into the foundation of your actions of Something

And its really honestly rewarding and a huge breath of fresh air as someone who once could not so much as lay down in bed for more than 5 minutes straight unless the intent was to sleep.

Sunday Snippet

I was tagged by @kingsofeverything to share a snippet of my WIP. I have made actual genuine progress on Arise, Fair Sun this past week and I’m so excited that things feel like they are clicking. I’ve had this particular moment in mind for AGES, so it was very satisfying to finally get it down. 

“Do you even know how to salsa, Louis?” Harry challenges. 

“I know enough,” Louis says blithely. “I was a guest judge for a few episodes of Dancing with the Stars a couple years ago, it’s impossible not to pick some stuff up. Did you watch?” 

“I prefer So You Think You Can Dance.” 

(Of course he watched. But Louis doesn’t need to know that.) 

“I should have known you would prefer the one with trained dancers.” Louis rolls his eyes, falling for Harry’s ploy hook, line, and sinker. “Typical.” 

“Many of the hip-hop and street dancers aren’t trained!” Harry protests. “And most of the time everyone is dancing outside of their usual styles.” 

“Dancing with the Stars is all about people discovering that they can dance,” Louis counters, pushing back from the table. “There’s a certain joy in watching that.” 

“Yeah, and how many of them keep dancing after the Mirrorball Trophy is handed out?” Harry volleys back. “Meanwhile, do you know how many So You Think You Can Dance alums are working dancers?” 

“Many of them as pros on Dancing with the Stars,” Louis smirks as he stands, slowly making his way around to Harry’s side of the table, like a tiger stalking its prey. “You have to admit those pro dancers are the best in the business.” 

“Well, of course they are,” Harry replies, tracking Louis’ movements, his heart rate kicking up a notch. “Which is why it’s a bit of a waste that they spend like twenty weeks out of the year teaching like, the latest Bachelorette or some other washed up reality star how to cha-cha–”

“Harry.” 

Harry’s breath hitches as Louis rests one hand on the back of Harry’s chair, his fingertips brushing a spot between his shoulder blades. He places his other hand on the table, looming over Harry, crowding in his personal space. 

“Y-yeah?” Harry stammers, looking up at him. 

Louis’ eyes flick down to his lips, lingering there a smidge too long to be unintentional. Harry presses his lips together instinctively, wetting them. 

“For once in your life,” Louis says, ducking down, his lips brushing the shell of his ear, sending goosebumps rippling up his arms. “Stop fighting me.”

My favourite friendships are the ones where you don’t do anything special together but enjoy the presence of the other. Lying on one of your beds, both scrolling on your phones in silence. One of you sitting on the others bathroom counter talking mainly to yourself while they do their makeup and brush their teeth in the morning. Helping your friend unload the dishwasher before you leave to go somewhere. Sitting in silence together, both studying for different classes. Sitting next to each other on the couch while one is on the phone, positing with their sister who moved out. FaceTiming while one reads and one draws, just so the option to talk to somebody is there. Walking one of your dogs together. One lying in the sun, almost asleep, while the other rants about their partner. Quiet friendships.

It takes a lot of time to be a genius. You have to sit around so much, doing nothing, really doing nothing.

How did you fail at jazz?

I kinda just put that there, I see a lot of people perform really interesting music and they all have jazz educations and started so young that me being 24 and unable to afford going to music school kinda locks me out of that whole circle.

I'm not exactly well-versed in theory, never got much of a chance to play real instruments with other musicians, got kicked out of music classes for being obnoxious, am far too alone and anxious to try and strike out on my own, suck too much to be able to prove myself despite this, have no "main" instrument. I live in a place very, very far removed from any music culture and cannot afford to move. Pretty much just have so many barriers between me and my passions that my previous failed academic streak and all the friends I've lost in the process kinda just became my life.

So I just subsist on video games and lament my nonexistent executive functions while others make me wish I could be that person in the artistic process. I just am not at that place right now. I would love to work with musicians, or learn the things I've missed out on, but I'm just completely alone at the moment. ADHD and the constant financial struggle are really all I know at this point. Even DAWs just puzzle me until I'm frustrated and close them.

Yes, I'm "letting" all this get to me. It's all I've known for over five years and the parents I'm taking care of are dying. I know if I restructured my entire life (and abandoned all I know in the process) I might be able to push past being absolutely terrified and do something. But here I am still. Sorry if all this is "stupid" or whatever. I get paid 15 an hour to promote something I don't believe in in some dying hardware store. I don't have the energy or resources to give much of a fuck anymore.
