you can't really do nothing because doing nothing is something if you can do it, still it's doing nothing and doing nothing you get to thinking what was it you were supposed to do. you could do anything and you could do nothing, and it could be the same thing. sometimes you feel like you're trying to do nothing, trying to summon something to think about and feel about the life you're actually living. when i say you i'm meaning colloquially me. you could think there's so many things i could have done or there's so many things i could do while doing nothing but thinking.
