Living in desolute, nothing changes, or remains. Before I lose my mind, I drown myself, the liquor can't fill, a has-been. I repeat my mantra, the words ring hollow, echoing off cold pristine glasses, stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck. Are we scared or just scarred? Burning through and through till the anchor drags us under.
I should be, yet here breathes nonsense. Am I (not) allowed to? "It is okay" What...? Perhaps I will come and say "hello", or, leave and stay.
The end is here or it will ever stop.
I’ve tried it countless times, and I’m here to tell you it doesn’t work. What’s the point of sitting cross-legged, eyes closed, and just… thinking? About nothing in particular? That’s not meditation, that’s just daydreaming while pretending to be enlightened. And don't even get me started on the so-called "benefits" of meditation. Lowered stress? Increased focus? Improved sleep? Please. I've achieved all those things without ever once putting my legs in a pretzel or chanting "om mani padme hum" like a possessed monk.
The only thing meditation has done for me is make me feel silly and bored. Silly for sitting there looking like a total dork, and bored because my mind inevitably starts to wander to more interesting things, like what's for lunch or whether I should buy that new video game.So if you're considering giving meditation a shot, save your time and energy. It's a fad, a trend, a way for people to feel good about themselves while doing absolutely nothing. And if you're like me and have wasted your time on it, don't worry. Just grab a beer, put on your favorite movie, and let's get back to living our best, unmeditated lives.
