The art of doing nothing.

Jul 15, 2015 21:40

I very rarely do nothing.
I am a very lazy person. Don't get me wrong. I love binge watching on TV shows, movies, video games, I'm not exactly active.
But rarely do I do nothing.
Just sit. Listen to music. Stop staring or reading or talking and just listen to music.
Tonight, I took a bath. (Gasp! A bath, you say? How scandalous, Ariel!)
For my birthday, my lovely friend Emily gave me two little tiny bath cupcakes that smell of ginger, and have honest to god flower petals in them.
I took a bath with flower petals in it.
I've never done that before!  People in movies do that. How fucking fancy! Thanks Em!

So here, my lovely friends, is to doing nothing.
To sitting in hot water and listening to classical music.
To sprawling on the couch and staring at the ceiling.
To not watching tv or reading or engaging in the world, but just thinking.

May I do much more of it.
