I like to space out. Normally when people say they space out, it means they're not thinking about anything at all. But that's not thecase for me. When I space out, I daydream about this and that. I think about different things each time, but BTS comes to mind a lot these days. I've imagined what it would be like to grow up and become a veterinarian. I've thought about the main stotyline of a novel I want to write. I say I space out despite thinking about these things, because outwardly I look like I am out of it.
A modern person's brain never gets a chance to catch its breath. We stay glued to our smartphones even when we take a break. The constant stream of information means our brains aren't resting at all. Spacing out is an effective way to let the brain take five. That's why I wish my mom would respect the time I spend spacing out.
