The Thought of Nothing...

When I did the nothing project I decided to go to a well populated area. Target. Before going I thought how people would react of me just standing there in the middle of an isle, doing nothing. Maybe someone would talk to me, ask if I'm okay or ask me to move out of their way. Maybe nothing would happen. Once I found my 'nothing spot' I went between the most populated section I could find. I started the time and left the rest up in the air. People started to pass by, not noticing me. 5 minutes pass and I feel like I might not be doing nothing. I pick a sign to stare at so I don't look at anyone's faces or clothes to almost judge the person and think to myself, "Do they think I'm weird just by standing here?" Then I realized I was doing something. Staring and Thinking. It really is hard to DO NOTHING. When you first hear the assignment of doing nothing, you think that it is the easiest assingment ever, then realize once you do it or in the middle of it that it really is hard. I feel like doing nothing could almost be impossible. We are so caught up in time and thoughts that we have no time to clear our minds. After some people have passed, I realized that this lady kept passing by me. She looked at where I was looking and walked by slowly with her cart. Maybe she would have done something, but she never came back after 2 times. I was really hoping someone would take action and do something, but that's how we are, we go to get things done.
