Potential Benefits of Procrastination
Link here.
Personal opinion:
I don't know if I agree with any of this potential benefits, it looks to me that this article is a procrastination itself, just the same as this post. Sorry.

Because this isn't real
18th of April, 2017
Dear imaginary friend named Michael,
I believe you have nomophobia, because that's just how things are. And, as the awesome friend that I am, I'll try to give you some advice to get over it.
First of all, I'll say that I understand what you're going through. You've got all the information that has ever existed at the palm of your hand just by typing the word you want to learn. Who doesn't like that?
But we live in a society where we encourage people to "live in the moment" and "enjoy the little things" , even though we spend our lives ignoring that moment and working for a future that may never come (because we chase it for all our lives but then we usually die while we're still chasing it).
So, my dear Michael, ignore your urges to check your phone and live in a reality built by other people that needs constant validation of all humanity, and do as they say.
Because spending your life looking at a small screen is obviously a bad thing, but spending it studying things you don't like to get a job that you'll probably hate and then die realizing that you have wasted your short exsistence as much as you would have looking at the phone the whole time is definitely better, right?
At the end of the day, people that hate so much mobiles are the people who just hate everything and complain about everyone (those damn nowadays kids and their phones!), and the ones that love them and praise them are zombificated creatures that can't live without their Instagrams.
Do what you want, Mike. Keep your nomophobia or get over it. Both are bad, but I'll be your (imaginary) friend anyway.
Always yours,
Aixa
Describe your soulmate/life parnter
I don't believe in the exsistence of a soulmate/perfect life partner. I believe that our exsistence as a race is nothing but an accident caused by the crash of two "big rocks" in the space a billion years aog; no one created us with a special path designed for each one of us nor we are supposed to meet someone who will make our life complete or will make us feel "whole" again. According to my theory, we walk alone our whole lives thinking that we have the world at he palm of our hands when at the end of the day the only thing that's truly awaiting for us at the palm of our hands is death.
What I'm trying to say with this is that the only thing that we will ever get to know in its fullness and true form is death, not another human being. Therefore, according to the popular definition of the word "soulmate" (or perfect life partner), I believe there is only one fitting candidate to be mine, the only one that I will ever get to know evem better than I will know death: me. And again, I am in no way trying to be narcissistic or egocentrical.
And what can I say about myself, my soulmate, that isn't already known? My name is Aixa, I'm 18 years old, I've got brown eyes and brown hairm like almost everyone in this country, I am tall, which is great even though I can't fully understand why, I am currently studying a hellish thing called "Batxillerat", the only thing that I believe that I trly enjoy in this world is fiction (in any form: books, movies, videogames, TV series...) and I think I dislike reality very much, and my only quality is also my biggest fault; we could consider that I've been blessed with the curse of being completely useless, not good at anything and a bit (and saying "a bit" because without that "a bit" sounds kinda harsh) worthless; this incapacitates me of doing anything good or worth it, but at the same time it saves me from doing any effort in order to succeed because I know I'll never will, giving me a lot of time to waste away.
So, even with my quality/fault of being the best at being the worst at everything, I enjoy very much being my soulmate and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life by my side, which undoubtely, I will.
Modern slavery in Spain
My question is, in such a great and lovely country, is it possible for slavery to exsist? Well, as a matter of fact, it is. Ignorion (or just not knowing) what is probably happening behind closed doors, there are some secotrs of the population that are being legally exploited.
These people work a huge amount of hours for a miserable salary, and they probably won't have chances to have a better future. They are called "Spanish citizens".
They are being enslaved by a criminal group known as "Partido Popular"; this group, along with many others that remain in the shadows, have taken a country that was agonizing straight to the grave, dragging with it all this group of "Spanish citizens".
Everyday that passes, the "spanish citizens" have it harder and harder to acess to health care because the "Partido Popular" has been wrecking it since t got its hands on it; their kids have an education whose quality is decreasing by the minute, because that's how the "PP" (as the "Partido Popular is commonly known) wants it; the jobs are dissapearing and the ones that are still avalible have a ridiculous salary; the prices for almost everything keep getting higher and higher, while the money of the "spanish citizens" is at a downfall...
And still, somehow the "Partido Popular" has been enslaving these "spanish citizens" for a onsiderable amount of years, and they probably spend at least another four years ruinning people's lives. How is it possible that, in a so-called advanced country like Spain is supposed to be, this keeps going on and on? Someone should do something!
But for today, let's just pray for them from the comfort of our houses, waiting for someone else to do what needs to be done.
