INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NAME OF THE BLOG

I am a very driven and creative person that do not like to sit still (even though it is sometimes necessary) and do nothing especially during the day because most of the times I feel like I am wasting time while I could be adding meaning to life by doing something and then I would get up and start to do something even if it meant doing house chores. Now although this may cause my house to always be clean and tidy it sometimes causes my inner being to feel empty and purposeless because if I just start to clean my house because I do not want to waste time then I do it in vain even though I get a clean and tidy house in return, but if I
