Need to go live life and report back

so im out of things to say after 3 years haha. this covid 19 thing has only made it worse now that i can’t travel. i really haven’t been living life for the last 4 years but hunkering down on the couch and getting online, with some time for hobbies. im just so bored these days and understimulated, i no longer have interesting thoughts anymore.

so my solution is to go out and live life, working and getting around more, and hope that this will spark more creativity in my thinking. i also hope to get into study which will give me new things to think about as another solution. so that’s what im going to try to do when the stay at home order is lifted and things start to normalize.

and hopefully that will refresh me and i will be more interesting. and of course i will report back the results of my endeavor.

Yeah good plan. I spend too much time online in the afternoons. I usually wind down after the day but I’ve heaps of hobby stuff to do and not that it’s bad but I’d rather be achieving something positive.

Good luck with your travels and look forward to hearing you doing well with things.

It’s strange. I read news articles and browse facebook and instagram feeds like crazy. But at night when I am winding down I can barely remember maybe 5% of all the information that reached my eyes that day. Maybe my brain doesn’t get enough oxygen?

I’m more or less advanced in age and I feel like I’ve already lived life.

I’m doing some new things lately: studying Spanish on Rosetta Stone language app. And also working on my Music Theory course book. I’m almost done with the course book. I’ve been working on it slowly for the past nine years. I’m on the last few pages of the last chapter.

I’m horrible at language and music. I took 1 semester in spanish at college and got an A. It wasn’t easy. I couldn’t roll my tongue lol.

I tried learning German, but it’s really hard with my mental illness. I tried guitar lessons for a couple of months, but it just takes too much effort.

I already had math skills before my illness so I’m good there. I had to learn computer programming after my illness. I wish I knew it as a kid; it would have been easier.

Programming is difficult. It’s different than math. It’s a new way of thinking.

High doses of meds reduce my working memory and long term memory. But I’m stable, so it’s worth it.

Ya, I think smoking so much like I do reduces blood flow and oxygen to my brain.

I try to work around the house and help my family when they need help, without arguing with them. It gives me a sense of purpose.

I’m not creative when it comes to the arts but I’m creative when it comes to science…

I don’t like traveling at all. It’s not my thing. Kudos to you though.

I mainly just watch YouTube videos now and post here. I’m tired of the internet. I don’t have the drive or motivation to study on Coursera.
