Okay, hear me out.

Not everything has to be a productivity hack.

Not every quiet moment needs to be “recharged” for efficiency.

Sometimes, you can just… sit.

I mean — when’s the last time you did nothing?

Not scrolling. Not even thinking about the next thing.

Just… nothing?

This dude outside a bakery — I swear, he wasn’t doing a thing.

No phone. No earbuds. Just standing. Watching pigeons argue over a crumb.

Kinda weird. Kinda peaceful.

And I’m not gonna lie, it made me stop walking for a sec.

It wasn’t deep. No life lesson.

But maybe that’s the point.

We cram every minute with sound, input, plans.

Like if we’re not busy, we’re broken.

And that’s exhausting.

You blink, and it’s August.

You check your phone, and dinner’s cold.

You try to rest, but your brain’s buffering.

Maybe nothing is underrated.

Maybe zoning out is a form of rebellion now.

Maybe not knowing what to say is fine too.

I’m not pushing some slow-living lifestyle.

I forget to breathe too sometimes.

But if you catch yourself pausing —

like really pausing, mid-scroll or mid-thought —

don’t rush past it.

Let it hang.

It might be the only real moment you get all day.
