This morning was one of those where I woke up, turned on my computer, checked Steem, but soon realized that my brain was completely scattered, and wasn't really doing anything, just browsing and clicking. So to gather my pieces back together, so to speak, I went to library to do some reading. I feel it's easy to drift into this bad habit when stuck in the squirrel wheel (aka. "rat race" as is said in English): sorting mail, having a break, browsing Steem – whoops, 15 minutes gone already, back sorting more mail. And making some food quickly at home and eating it whilst watching YouTube or, browsing more Steem. You know, just a constant go-go-go. Talking of which, there is this one particularly curious little guy on my delivery route who decided to check out my electrical two-wheeler.
Lucky you squirrel, since you are actually not stuck in the squirrel wheel (one time I almost accidentally ran over one though). The job seems to take a toll, since I crashed into bed on Friday in the afternoon and slept 3 hours even though I got 7-8 hours sleep in every day. One thing I need to do though: sleep no more than half hour naps, because my extended nap ruined my night sleep, again.
It's nice to have a break and to be able to just focus on a book. I've been increasingly picking up reading during this past year, simply because I keep finding interesting stuff to read in the library. In high school, I had distaste for most school reading and didn't read much other than the odd LOTR (and Silmarillion, which you have to be true nerd to read, because it's basically a history book of Arda, aka. the fantasy world where Middle-Earth exists).
It feels like school didn't make things interesting for me, except for creative subjects, because they were all essentially pre-curated according to a curriculum plan, and well, most of this pre-curated material wasn't interesting to me. Not sure whether because of reverse psychology – the rebel teen who refuses to do what others say.
Though now that I've been able to take some ownership of my life, I find many things interesting, even stuff like physics that I quit soon during the second course of it in high school. The thing is, I find physics and the nature of our reality interesting, I just don't care about the math associated with it. I just like to know stuff, 'cause I'm curious – that's what I realized after I finished high school, which is a bit ironic when thinking about it.
Anyway, here are more pictures from the park that is next to the library.
