Stealing Moments

Whenever I do not feel like doing something I am supposed to do (work for example) I will try to steal moments from my future self to do something else.

Whether it is going through social media feeds or wasting time on Youtube cats videos (that is actually quite uplifting when I feel down) I know I am stealing moments from my future self. Because at some point my future self will have to do the things my present self should do and my future self will have less moments to do that.

I hate being pressured, and yet I put so much pressure on my future self! It’s like I hate myself… but this is definitely not the case.

I am just wondering what would happen when the future self does not exist anymore… Will I be eternally in debt for those stolen moments? How will I be able to compensate for what I have stolen from someone that is not there anymore?

Maybe the answer is to stop stealing. After all, mum always told me it is bad to steal :)
