Author: Sequoia"Get up from the bed lazy bum! You will gonna be late for your job interview."
I covered my face with a pillow to at least minimize my mother's annoying high pitch voice. Job interview? Who the hell on earth would schedule a 7:00 am interview? Do they even sleep?
*Blaaag*
My mother slammed the door when she realized that I'll never get out from my comfy and cozy bed. Hmm, that's better. I can finally go back to sleep.
*Ring-riiiiing-riiinng*
What the h*ck! Who is calling me at this very hour? It's just 7:00 am in the morning.
Wait, 7:00 am? Well I guess, this is the interviewer. I was scheduled to have a phone interview by the way. I can't understand my mom. Why would she wake me up in the middle of my sleep, if my interview is via phone? It's not like they will see my face right?
I searched my phone to my study table beside my bed without rising from the bed. I finally found it and answer. I almost got a heart attack when the interviewer asked me to turn on my camera because we will be having a video call interview. My heart is beating so fast because I am not prepared and still wearing my pajamas. This is so embarrassing. It will surely lessen my chance to get hired. D*mn!
I nervously tap the video icon and saw my presentable interviewer. I can see her disappointment and devastating look at me. Well, I can't blame her. Even I myself feels the same.
As a result, I wasn't hired which means that I am still jobless and useless here in our house.

That was a lame and boring story right? My apologies. I just need to create a scenario to clearly show you how small act of laziness can affect our life.
I wouldn't be hypocrite, I get lazy too at some point in my life. Well, not really at some point, but most of the time. Especially during this pandemic.
I don't know about you but this pandemic really brings out the laziness in me. If I haven't encounter readcash amd noisecash, maybe I have done nothing useful or worth it during this time.

Human as we are, laziness is never new to us. No matter how hardworking a person is, I know that at some point of his life, he also experience lazy moments.
Moments where all you want to do is just sit back and relax, lay in your bed, listen to music, immerse yourself in this idleness and simply do nothing.
Personally, I have reasons on why this feeling usually occurs in me. Sometimes, it is because I am physically tired, emotionally exhausted , discouraged, bored or the things I am doing doesn't spark my interest anymore.
And to tell you honestly, doing nothing is sometimes all we need to be fine and to function again. Just like a machine that needs to stop operating to avoid overheating, we too, needs to just stay still and do nothing. For what? Nothing, just for us to be reminded that we are not robots and we do really get passive sometimes and it is normal.
________________________
Seldom laziness is normal. But if you keep on doing that every single day, then it is not good anymore.
You see, no matter what our reasons behind this action, we can't still deny the fact that laziness will never make us productive nor feed us.
If you want to achieve your dreams in life, you gotta do something about it. You can't just lay in your bed all day and tada, it will just suddenly happen or appear in front of you. Life doesn't work that way.
Don't just work hard, work smart. Invest in yourself. It takes action, in order for us to make our dreams come true.

Closing Thoughts
I don't really know where I am heading or if I am making any sense. I just want to emphasize that it's okay to be lazy sometimes, but make sure that it will not affect you career and plans. Be lazy, but be wise as well.

Guilty sa pagiging lazy sis. Ngayon feel na feel ko ang katamaran kaya gutom ako ngayon kasi walang makain. Pero totoo, minsan kailangan natin ng pahinga para maging efficient ulit.
