[Linkpost] “You’re always stressed, your mind is always busy, you never have enough time” by mingyuan
Update: 2025-11-03
Description
This is a link post. You have things you want to do, but there's just never time. Maybe you want to find someone to have kids with, or maybe you want to spend more or higher-quality time with the family you already have. Maybe it's a work project. Maybe you have a musical instrument or some sports equipment gathering dust in a closet, or there's something you loved doing when you were younger that you want to get back into. Whatever it is, you can’t find the time for it. And yet you somehow find thousands of hours a year to watch YouTube, check Twitter and Instagram, listen to podcasts, binge Netflix shows, and read blogs and news articles.
You can’t focus. You haven’t read a physical book in years, and the time you tried it was boring and you felt itchy and you think maybe books are outdated when there's so much to read on the internet anyway. You’re talking with a friend, but then your phone buzzes and you look at the notification and you open it, and your girlfriend has messaged you and that's nice, and then your friend says “Did you hear what I just said?” [...]
