The guilt of doing nothing

Today I realized that I have forgotten howbto enjoy things without asking whether they are useful. After college work, I often feel guilty for watching a movie, listening to music, or simply sitting outside . It feels as if every free minute should improve my future in some way.

Tonight I read people online describing the same struggle: treating rest like wasted time. Their words made me pause . Maybe I don't not need to turn every hobby into a skill or every evening into a productive session. Perhaps some moments are valuable simply because they make me happy again.
