I Don’t Even Have Kids and I Feel Like There’s No Time. Not Sure How Everyone Deals With It

My brain is once again lacking the capacity to write something substantial and cohesive, so I’m trying to think of what could be fun to just chat about for a little while. I was thinking about how I feel like I don’t have enough time to do anything besides go to work. It feels impossible to get anything done that is necessary to maintain a standard of living that meets my needs. I don’t feel like I can paint or organize even though I moved to a new place in January (it’s October 15th). It’s hard to feel like I can read or get into a good TV show because I should be doing other things that matter more. I don’t keep up with the bathroom or kitchen as much as I’d like, but compared to other people, my stuff is pretty clean. Well, kitchen is a little unorganized, but not really gross. I don’t even feel like I have time to cook for myself, so it doesn’t even matter that much! I work the night shift. Maybe that’s my issue. Maybe I have other issues and that doesn’t help them.   I’m definitely a procrastinator, maybe that’s source of the dread feeling like I have no time for anything. 

Id love to say that I’d love to know the root of my problems, but I don’t think I do. I seem to actively avoid criticism. Not even just that, really any type of feedback. Makes me nervous. I haveee to get over that one day, but it’s so hard. I’m not in the mood to try. I’d like to avoid the uncomfortable feelings it brings to the surface at all costs, even progress, peace, and prosperity I guess! So, I avoid things, people, situations. Idk where it gets me, but it is what it is for now. I guess it’s good that I’m acknowledging it? Is that the first step to fixing a problem? 

Surprisingly, I don’t want to think about this stuff anymore. Let’s get back to my original thought that sparked this post – I sorta miss feeling like I have the time and mental capacity to get into a good TV show. I guess our lives are a little different these days and content has been keeping pace with the changes in things like attention spans and viewing habits. Theresa were times in my life where a TV show meant a lot to me. I’m not in the mood to italicize I’m sorry, but three of my favorite shows of all time are LOST, The Leftovers, and The OA. I am literally Devastated The OA was cancelled, even 6 years later. I love a show with character development. I like seeing characters grow and just like all sides of them. I can’t help but relate to most characters, good or bad. I see the good in bad people, but I also see the bad in good people. I think I’ve discussed this a bit previously. Idk if that’s a good or bad quality. Maybe I’ll pause here for now. 

What’s your favorite show?

    I too feel like I don’t have time to get into a good TV show or at least devote the time and energy into keeping up with it. Even shows I start out liking somehow it seems like I never see the last season or just loose interest. Been that way for a while. I think the last show I watched and was really engaged with was Breaking Bad. Talk about character development. And the Sopranos. I read the Foundation Trilogy back when I was more of a reader and really liked the Foundation show on Apple. But again, did not stick with it. I grew up watching silly sitcoms mostly but none stand out as ‘favorites’. More recently (and by that I mean last 20 years or so) I liked The Office and, of course, Seinfeld. I also liked ‘Lost’. I know I have sometimes likened the Island to {insert where I worked}. Maybe that was just silly. I loved a show called Joan of Arcadia years ago. The idea of God being random strangers and interacting with Joan to have her do something which seemed completely random but, in the end, was part of His plan. Working through Joan. I know I mentioned that before in an older post. I suspect “favorites” tend to change over time. I’m definitely a procrastinator as well and always feel like I should be doing other things that matter more. Building my online business mostly now. sometimes wish I was moved to a new place

      I really need to get to watching Breaking Bad. I wonder if I’d get obsessed with it. People on Twitter make it seem like making money online is so easy, so I don’t even need to wish you luck with that. Unless, of course, they’re not being truthful…

        I forgot to mention Outlander. Excellent show. Binged it over the summer and definitely one of my favorites. Waiting for the last season to drop soon. Making money online used to be much easier. Years ago, google would only look for key words to rank a site. We would take an image on a site and put the same keyword 100 times in the background the same color as the background so it was invisible. You couldn’t see them but the algorithm would read it and rank your site at the top. Lots of tricks like that we can’t do anymore. seems like a lifetime ago
