consumption
My time outside of work is spent consuming instead of creating. I read, watch movies, skim through twitter, and waste hours on the internet. Our culture is a consumer culture which I can’t help but wonder if we can change this. Most of my consumption is passive. I get stuck in the theoretical world and don’t engage my surroundings. The times in my life where I was most in-tune with who I am were spent creating. Sleepless days of art school, time spent exploring new cities or forests. I do grow while consuming but without creating anything from that knowledge I will soon forget it.
