Boredom!

To your knowledge, you pushed yourself to the limit...in terms of work...the whole struggle of living, managing relationships, maintaining equilibrium in life in general...So the much deserved break was something you waited for time infinitum. I did.
I am on a month-long break. Honestly, I'm not used to this state of being. If there came a day when someone asks me just to do nothing, I'd bluntly refuse, at whatever cost! This is something I've realised...I cannot 'not do anything'! That's the bitter (or whatever you call it) truth. I keep telling my friends...take a break. I take back my words. Coz I can't do it myself. Yes I can do new things, explore absolute unknown territores, even raise cattle for that matter, but I cannot laze around.
Boredom strikes me like some destructive tsunami. It engulfs me to an extent where I feel claustrophobic and I search for avenues to escape...write, drive, shop, eat...just about engage in anything that under 'normal' circumstances would not make much sense...coz I shop what I don't need to, eat when I ain't hungry, drive relentlessly when global warming is looming over our heads.
The question is why?? Is it a trait in me? Am I not normal coz this is not how normal people are supposed to be? Or is it just something that happens to 'some' people?
This incessant urge, longing to do something...just about anything...consumes me. Is it because life is too short for digging into all the multifarious things that this world has to offer? Sometimes, I just wonder.
