When Life Became a To-Do List
A new mother stands in her kitchen, cradling her premature daughter against her chest. The baby is finally home from the hospital, miraculously healthy. This should be pure joy. Yet her thumb keeps moving, scrolling through her phone even as she holds this tiny life. The realization hits like cold water: she's addicted to a device, and it's stealing moments she'll never get back. This wasn't rock bottom, but it was close enough to spark a question that would reshape everything: when did we forget how to have fun? We throw the word "fun" around constantly-"that meeting was fun," "dinner was fun," even "traffic wasn't too bad, kind of fun actually." We've watered down the concept until it means nothing more than "not terrible." Meanwhile, something essential has been leaking out of our lives. Adults struggle to remember the last time they felt truly, wildly, completely alive in a moment. We're not talking about pleasant or nice or fine. We're talking about that electric feeling when time dissolves, when you're so present you forget to check your phone, when you look up grinning and think, "This. This is what being human feels like."
