:o( it's basically just summed up as that. i can't can. ugh. so i have my symbols of who are important and i putter on. and i'm binge reading homestuck instead of homework which is utterly terrible of me. blah.
Binge reading homestuck is at least moving forward, is doing, is putting one mental foot in front of the other. It's way better than doing nothing.
i hadn't thought of that. thank you, good lady. though isn't it technically nothing, since i am getting nothing done?
It's mental exercise at least. Exercise of the body can be considered "nothing" in that way too, but the maintenance required to keep things functioning isn't "nothing" because it's fighting against entropy, against the wear and tear of life. Self-care of any kind has value because it preserves the future ability to do useful things.
