I've asked many of my friends this question, "do you think you're wasting your time"? Most have replied, "yes". (question was regarding some issue, not just in general)
Well friends, here is my take.
I don't think time can be wasted, in our short human years on this planet. Take a mundane, "busy work" task, where you are doing something over and over again, eventually without thinking. From an engineer's perspective, efficiency can be improved if "busy work" exists. Thus, more time is opened for something else, maybe your own leisure, to be with others. In other words, to have more time that is "not wasted".
The fact is, every second in our life time is there, it exists. As I write this, I am spending time to write it, and it can't be wasted, because something is happening. Our hearts are pumping, slower and faster to the beat of another. Not a second is to be wasted, and not a second can be wasted.
Maybe the real issue here is expectations, where we expect to have fun or to relax rather than "wasting our time" doing something we do not wish to do. If we could only open our eyes to see that every moment of our lives should be cherished and made into something unforgettable. This is the beauty of love, something to make you forget what is wasteful and what is not. Every second being bored, is another moment in your time together. So for you singlees (0_o?) and singlettes out there, experience the moment for what it is, unblind your eyes from the society shades and truly experience, everything. I know all of us have had the emo moments in our lives, and the beauty of life has somehow sprung out of mine. Broken hearts can love more,
but some are afraid, but why be afraid.

Once a friend told me, "life is too short". Of course it is. That's not to say be happy all the time and ignore all the terrible things that happen because life is too short. No, not at all. Embrace every moment, through bliss and bitterness, and you will have strength.
Something amazing happens everyday. You just have to open those eyes and see it happen. Some may say creativity is childish, but it doesn't have to be! Life is beautiful everywhere at anytime. Though emotions can bring us down, it can only get better.
-- Life as a naive, beautiful hopeless romantic.
