Forever young. I want to be... forever young

For the past year and a half, I've been constantly running around, trying to make the best out of my 24 hours in a day. After a full-on schedule, I sleep max 6 hours and start my day with a strong latte with skim milk.

My family and friends are telling me to slow down, and enjoy life. As strange as this sounds, I find enjoyment in constantly moving. It's sort of like having adult ADHD, haha! I feel a sense of accomplishment in attempting (and hopefully succeeding) to complete as much as I can in 24 hours.

Sooner or later, that strong latte will lose it's effect and I'll need something else. Sleep, preferably. I wish there was some kind energy-supplying tablet that I could pop in, and operate with 3 hours of sleep. Imagine how much I can get done, haha!

But, that's the condition of our lives now, isn't it? The constant advancement in technology enables us to complete tasks in a shorter amount of time. With those tasks out of the way, we find that we can do more. And more, and more. In the end, it doesn't actually matter whether technology aided you or not. (to some extent)

I assume that distribution of technology was initially meant to make our lives easier. The increase in mobility would shorten the amount of travel time. Instead, we use that extra 20-minutes to jump onto Facebook, or run out to socialise, or walk around the shops.. When we could take a 20-minute rest. (whoops, guilty!)

I keep telling myself that I'm only young once, and I won't have so much energy in 10 years time to do all these. I'm only young once :) A minute of doing nothing is a minute wasted in Pris' dictionary, haha. (Minimal sleep is counted as something, lol.)

I am absolutely exhausted right now, I almost fell asleep during small group tonight! (which I could have made the conscious decision to stay home and rest :P) I can feel my body showing signs of "slow down, I need some rest!!", and it won't be too long till that red light and alarm would go off.

But until then... Off I go!
