Why am I embroiled in a futile search on the internet
The answers I am looking for, I am not going to get
When consumed by self-doubt and despondency
Why do I think the internet would give me
Solutions or positive reinforcement of some kind
The more I browse, the more depressing content I am likely to find
And if I check social media, my feelings of inadequacy would be
Heightened several-fold, that is the outcome likely

Why do I not train myself to explore
Activities that fill my cup some more
Read a good book or try to write
Even when circumstances do not feel right
Go for a brisk walk or talk to a friend
Do something such that valuable time I do not spend
In browsing the internet aimlessly
Let my spirits improve significantly..

And miss going down the rabbit holes that we always do when we are looking for something? It’s crazy how much time we can spend ‘researching’ on the computer and not even realize it.

Yes! I think this may be one of the more important causes of the perceived lack of time in modern life
