My family says traveling is a waste of time. How can I convince them?

Who says traveling is a waste of time and life? I'm the first to refuse! Let me talk about my personal experience.

"An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and an inch of gold can't buy an inch of time" has become a sentence that many people were asked to repeat when they were young. Of course, there are also many words such as "the deceased is like a husband, who doesn't give up day and night", "the young and the old don't work hard, and the flowers will reopen one day, and life is no longer a teenager". They all teach us to cherish time and make full use of it. That's what I did.

I'm too scared to be bored. I can't just watch time go by without doing anything. Therefore, I often find myself with many things to do to fill my time. I especially like traveling.

March every year is the busiest time for me to work all year round, and this year is no exception. During that time, all my life was filled with work, and I no longer had to bother to find something to do for myself to fill my time, because work would come to me. That whole March, as soon as I woke up, my brain automatically turned on the working mode, which often lasted until late at night. Working hours were overloaded, I worked overtime passively, and revised the manuscript repeatedly ... During that time, I was severely squeezed by time and became a poor little dust, so that I fell into thousands of dust and did not stir up a wave.

I looked at my tired and dull face, and I scratched my hair that fell off because of work pressure. I can't even sleep until 3 am. I feel my whole world is twisted. In the heavy work, I took time out to book myself a plane ticket to the hotel in mid-April, and made up my mind to go on holiday after finishing my work.

Finally, the work is finished. Guess what I did after I finished. I cried. I locked myself in my office and cried when everyone was taking a lunch break after work. I haven't cried like this for a long time. Since graduating from college, it seems that it is the first time to cry, and it is also a bitter cry in my impression. After crying, I fell asleep on the folding bed set up in the office with swollen eyes, which was the best sleep I had all month.

On that day, I realized that some time was just wasted.

One day at the end of March, I accidentally told this story to one of my most familiar colleagues. Of course, I told it to her as a joke. After listening, she opened her eyes in surprise and moved her mouth to say something but didn't say it. Then she took a deep breath and said, "You work too hard. Sometimes you don't have to be so serious. The work pressure is too great. " Say that finish, come and clap my back. At that moment, my nose was a little sour again, but it was soon restrained. Perhaps my colleagues would never have imagined that I would be seriously tripped up by heavy work.

Later, when I embarked on a holiday trip and took a six-hour flight to Bali, the hot but warm air came the moment I got out of the cabin. I suddenly felt that sometimes time should be wasted.

I was walking on the beach in Kimbaland at sunset, and the skirt of my long skirt was wet by the waves. I don't care. I didn't care if my bare feet stepped on uneven gravel. Even the afterglow of the sun shines on me. I didn't take an umbrella and didn't care. Suddenly slowing down the pace of life, suddenly different world, suddenly different sense of time, all make me feel that life should be like this.

Of course, we can't be on vacation all the time, and we can't expect to gain without paying. But in the face of an extremely fair amount of time, maybe I can spare some time, do nothing, think nothing, and just waste it, that's good. I no longer think about whether to translate a chapter, whether to go swimming or go to the gym, I no longer think about every minute. After all, sometimes, time is wasted, and the wasted time may become your unique and beautiful time.
