Unproductivity is my demon. Because of it, because of my complete inability to just FOCUS on getting something done, I feel like I am completely wasting my existence - from the blood pumping through me to the flow of hair coursing out of my head. I am not physically disabled. I have perfect arms and legs and hands and feet and eyes and ears. So why don’t I use them to their fullest potential? I am capable of being in perfect health, being perfectly energetic, being perfectly creative, being perfectly content with my seventeen year old existence. I need to start treating my body the way it deserves to be treated. I need to value myself as more than just a thought. All I do is think. I think I should work out today. I think I should raise my hand in class. I think I should finish this story I started. Or this painting. Or this fucking college application.
When it comes to short term things like these, I need to start making quick decisions and sticking by them. When I look back at the past few months, my memories have started to blur into one and that realization is what is causing me to put my foot down today. I won’t let my life be anything less than memorable from here on out. I want my life to be bright and colorful, with thick lines that distinguish each day from the one before it and the one after it. I won’t let the colors or the lines blend. I will be productive.
