How come I don't feel empty and instead feel content when I live my life despite all that's gone wrong in it? I don't think of the future that much. I just live by the day, although I do have goals. People say things that being lazy makes you feel terrible, but to me I just feel normal. I feel active also, just active in the wrong places and putting focus on the wrong aspects of my life. I've noticed that often times I don't think from logic but instead think from emotions, like my inner monologue just stops and sometimes I do things based on impulse rather than using my head. Maybe this is less contentment and more numbness.
I think the thing is is that I don't really aspire for conventional success in life. I do it out of necessity but don't really see it as a virtue in and of itself. I also don't value hard work that much besides as a means to an end. Probably the communist stuff in my brain speaking, although many communists value hard work. I just would prefer it if everything was based on socialist mindset of meeting people's needs efficiently rather than overly valuing hard work.
It's also the moment stuff. If I don't think outside of the moment that much, I just feel relaxed and at ease and comfortable. But when I do, that disappears. I think my greatest strength in this circumstance would be the lack of activity in my brain sometimes and mental numbness. People emphasize these days non traditional notions of strength but I feel that I'm not so certain this is a sign of resilience, as it is having a toxic affect on my future, even if it keeps me satisfied in the present. But the future feels like nothing. It's not happened yet, so I don't feel worried about it because it's abstract. This is kinda idiotic lizard brain thinking.
Eventually, something's going to change. But I feel being so content and normal feeling like this isn't generating enough motivation to actually do anything. I probably have to do something eventually. I'll try to motivate myself and get off my ass and finally do something about my weight and my future.
