I love to goof off. Nothing feels better than not doing what you’re supposed to be doing. Wikipedia hits so hard when you’re supposed to be cleaning your room. Building a blanket fort hits so hard when you’re supposed to be writing an essay. And playing Geoguessr hits so hard… most of the time. There’s a little human impulse that most of us have that tells us to be a little delinquent. Maybe it’s because we’re all a little childish at heart. We like to rebel against Papa, even if Papa is our own brains.
Some great ways to goof off include making paper airplanes, gossiping with your friends, doodling in your notebook, dilly-dallying in a thrift store, or trying on crazy outfits in your closet. Anything that brings you joy, but has no real productive ends. You’re not necessarily working on a skill or self-improving, you’re just goofing for the sake of goofing.
