Luke Likes 'Be Bored'

I have a little free time right now, so what can I do? Why don't we go to the cinema? Why don't we go to the cinema and watch a movie? How about that? Nope? not a good idea?

How about this? We stay at home and watch something at our place. What do you say? Nope? you don't like that? You don't like that?

Alright, how about this? We go on social media and watch videos. You can't say no, you can't say no to that. Oh, come on. So you don't want to go and watch a movie at the cinema. Then you are telling me you don't want to watch anything at home. And even, you don't even want to watch a video on social media.

Are you saying that we are not going to watch anything and just sit like that in silence? Is it really possible to do that? Oh, come on. Let's just at least put on some music. We cannot just sit like that in silence, can we? Why? Oh, I don't know why. It is just weird. It is strange. It is weird, strange. We don't do that, but I don't know why. But still, we don't, we don't. Or, maybe?

Okay, here is my final idea. Tonight, let's not watch anything. And let's not listen to anything either. Let's not do that either. Let's not read, listen, scroll on your phone. Let's not talk. And let's not move. Let's not move either.

Let's not go out. Let's just stay in. Let's not think about tomorrow. And let's not plan anything. Also, let's not worry about yesterday. Let's not go out and run. And let's not go out and go to the gym. No, let's not do that either. Oh, oh, oh, and let's not text. Let's not text our friends. Let's not do that.

Let's not clean. Let's not paint. Let's not go out and do some shopping. Let's not be active. Let's not work, of course. Come on, this is free time.Oh, oh, oh, let's not go online. And let's not do online shopping. Let's not think what we are going to do on holiday. Let's not plan the dinner and what we need to buy to make it.

So, what then? I have a little free time right now and I choose not to do anything. Can I really do that? Please? This is really harder than you think and I don't think we really do that anymore, or we can do that.

And what I realized, realized is that I can't really do that myself, can you? Okay, so this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to put away my phone. Put away. I'm going to switch off the music. Switch off the TV. I'm going to sit down and not read. I'm not going to snack on anything. Snack or move too much.

Just sit and relax and say to myself, 'hmm, this is quite uncomfortable'. I don't know why but I really, really, really feel uncomfortable right now because I feel like I should be doing something and I'm not. And this is so weird that I don't really remember last time I did that, but at the same time I feel okay with that.

What is this feeling? I can't really remember what it feels like. Am I getting sick or something? Right now I would like to look it up, look it up and find out more about it but I don't have my phone around. Wait! No, it can't be true. No way!

Wait! Am I getting bored? Yes, I am. And you know what? I like it.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!
