When I’m supposed to be walking I have an overwhelming urge to run and when I run, I tend to run faster then I should. For some reason, I find myself constantly having to be active, I just can’t sit still and relax. In a sense, this over activity has become second nature. More or less, I’ve convinced myself that idle time is wasted time.
I’ve tried to pinpoint when this started but I can’t find the origin. Even as a young kid, I’ve always been juggling several things at once and that mentality hasn’t changed- not in junior high, not in high school, not in college nor in my post graduate career. Maybe it’s a fear of being considered average; simply put, no one remembers “average people.” It’s not a bad thing to be average, some people are okay with mediocrity and that’s fine for them but I’m not one of “those people.”
However, you reach a point when you have to say when and I guess for me it comes now, and it comes in the form of a Hawaiian vacation. Away goes the laptop and all of life’s obligations, --at least for a week or so.
