How much do we actually register from scrolling?
You know, it’s crazy how much time we spend scrolling through our phones, isn’t it? I mean, at the end of the day, when I sit down and really think about it, I can’t help but wonder: What did I actually learn or remember from all that scrolling?
And the worst part is, now I’ve gotten myself into this habit where I can’t even sit still and do nothing anymore. It’s like I’ve trained myself to be constantly stimulated and entertained, and now the idea of just sitting with my thoughts feels uncomfortable. It’s like I’m afraid of what might come up if I let myself be alone with my own thoughts for too long.
But the thing is, all that scrolling and consuming content – it’s not actually doing me any good. In fact, it’s making things worse. I thought I was distracting myself from my problems, but really, all I was doing was exhausting myself and burning myself out.
And now, when it’s time to go to bed and I’m lying there staring at the ceiling, I can’t help but feel this overwhelming sense of boredom and restlessness. It’s like all the stuff I’ve been trying to ignore throughout the day comes rushing back to me, and I feel completely overwhelmed by it all.
I guess it’s kind of like how some people try to drown out their sorrows with alcohol or cigarettes. Except for me, it’s watching content on my phone. But either way, it’s not a healthy coping mechanism, and deep down, I know it’s not helping me at all. In fact, it’s only making things worse, and I hate myself for letting it get to this point.
Until next time, Adios amigo!
