Keep it full

Full gas of tank
Tummy filled with warm food
Mug full of fresh brewed coffee
Newly changed watch battery
Stacked firewood
Pile of unread books

Feel Good Inc.
It sure is.

It feels half when it’s less. 
It feels less when it’s half.
It goes without a saying;
It feels great when it’s FULL.

Same goes for activities and calendars. 
Most will say they will love a day with no plans & expectations.
No meetings.
No “must” activities.
Plain day with nothing.
Guess what?
This is a plan itself.

A day where you block your calendar and postpone your activities for some “me time”.
At first it feels magical. Endless free time
Yet time goes fast
Days turn into weeks and months.
Nothing to do
And the more taskless you get, the more free you are.
Here comes the silence
Mental tranquility 

If not directed in a precise manner
It becomes an issue
An issue so deep it can trigger depression without the help of usual external factors
It worsens as you dive in
The main man appears
Existential questioning
It will leave you dry
Turn out your soul

Fix is easy
Mostly free
You gotta keep it full
As full as you can
Simple socialings, small groups
New ideas, some habits
At a great cost

To avoid the void
