the fucked up thing is that i can never stop spending time. there are no free actions. thinking about what to do is itself an action that consumes time. i need a pause button for reality so bad and i genuinely hate that i don’t have one

what if you switched out “spend” and “consume” from your vocabulary in this domain

tbh I sense if we get into this there’s like a >50% chance you’ll probably be annoyed and mad at me lol
if you pull the thread all the way it’s questions like what are you afraid of, so what if time passes, and we end up in the bagel of abandonment and death

ngl reading some of this lowkey makes me want to die
Or, you don't have *any* time
each moment is absolutely unique, and any perceived change is just flavor
essentially, all you have is what there is now, *you* do not persist

always be dying
that's the secret, that I can never go home again, that the me who was here yesterday is now just a memory
death hurts like hell, I would know, I've died over ten thousand times by now

The right thing to do is to accept uselessness. If you are "spending" time, that means you think you are buying something. But there is nothing you can have outside time, so there is nothing to buy.
