    Here I am, taking online classes, chained to a computer, and starting to do an insta scroll. Lectures are so boring and its getting to my head. Meditation, tai-chi, piano, reading, journaling, exercising, gardening... What else is there? I feel as though I am at a loss. Living the philosophy feels impossible. Just being honest and wanting to vent.

    Thank you for listening and being here.

    Too many people get caught up in thinking everything they do needs to be tied towards self improvement in some way. There an old saying...

    "All work and no play makes jack a dull boy"

    If your really not into something or dont get no satisfaction out of it then stop doing it, you only get one go around. Why waste it spending time doing stuff you dont enjoy?

    Theres only 2 things that are pretty mandartory you should be doing regardless of enjoyment and thats work and exercise... Everything else should be geared towards fulfillment and making the most of your short stop here on earth.

    You can do all the healthy habits you want but at the end of the day it will always be at least a little challenging. But nothing worth doing is easy.

  5. Sounds like you're tired, bored, stressed, and overall not enjoying life at the moment. It's normal to feel like you want to give up. I didn't enjoy my classes in college either. Social media is addicting, especially insta and i consider it soft core porn based on a lot of the photos people post nowadays.

    However, I would ask how does giving up help you? Will you be happier if you keep scrolling through insta and fapping? Of course these are rhetorical questions. If you can find other ways of having fun and relaxing, you'll have less of a need to fap. Throwing out an idea, can you sit outside and listen to your lecture?

    No matter what, there will always be resistance toward doing something meaningful. Even with the thing we are most passionate about and gives us the most fulfillment, we will be resistant toward doing it. It's part of the imperfection of our minds, but it is a part of our minds nonetheless. You know what the right thing to do is. If resistance is an inevitable part of it, make friends with the resistance. Let resistance be your guide.

    Thank you for your support everyone!

    @sleepingdragon_3388 thats a great idea and I could certainly benefit from doing computer work outside!

    Still going strong (aside from the tripup on insta). No relapse.

    Thank you again nofap community for the inspiration!
