Doom Scrolling VS Me; The Endless Battle

 

Ever spent hours just… scrolling? Like, you blink and suddenly it’s been three hours, your thumb’s sore, and you know way too much about 18th-century pirate fashion? Yeah. Same.

Let’s play a game. If you relate to at least three of these, congrats—you, too, are a doom scroller.

Signs You’re in the Doom Scrolling Club:

• You check the time… then somehow lose 45 minutes in a black hole of pigeon conspiracy theories.

• Just one more Reel… suddenly, you and the algorithm have aged together.

• Your thumb could scroll without you at this point. Autonomous. Powerful.

• You start a 2 hour movie… but end up watching 47 clips about the movie instead.

• You know this cycle. You live this cycle. You are the cycle.

Some people… functional adults, I guess..claim there are “better” ways to spend time. Wild, right?

Things to Do Instead of Doom Scrolling (Allegedly):

• Meditate – Staring at the ceiling for an hour totally counts.

• Read a book – Reading comment sections is basically literature.

• Go for a walk – My couch and I are in a committed relationship.

• Pick up a hobby – I have one. Finding the funniest meme of the day.

• Exercise – No.

Look, being lazy? Not a flaw. It’s a skill. I’ve mastered the fine art of taking life slow—like, really slow. Why rush? Why stress? The world’s fast enough. Me? I’m about the small joys. Sunlight on the wall. The perfect crunch of caramelized sugar. A couch cushion fluffed just right.

So yeah. While you’re out there chasing goals, I’ll be here, chilling, snacking, vibing.

Now, if you’ll excuse me… my couch needs me.
