Freedom has been a prominent factor in my relationship to my actions. 
Doing things solely because it is not allowed is a simple pleasure no one can take away. With limits comes to urge to break free. But what do you do after breaking free? Sometimes the world doesn't feel so magical when you're living the contemporary western-European life. Anything is possible, so I find myself doing only the most mundane things. What a blessing it is to do  choose  to do nothing. Is it the ultimate exercise of freewill? Am I just over-intellectualising what most people would call laziness?

It is ironic because I often find myself scoffing and rolling my eyes at the "rest is resistance" type slogans. But I am not a hypocrite! I don't insist on reframing my passiveness as revolutionary. Why do these people lie to themselves and everyone around them? Because they are scared of being the ones that do nothing. 
"But you can't just be doing nothing?" you might be thinking to yourself. Of course the mundane things still count.  And of course I still partake in society as much as any relatively healthy 20-something year-old in a metropolitan area would. But I don't quite aspire for much but happiness and health. I enjoy making art, but I enjoy thinking about it as much, if not more than actually doing it. Those words are scary to type out loud, and maybe that's why those Art school-grade hippies try to make their non-doings seem like a bigger deal than it is. 
The real question is, what are artists doing that their rest deserves to get policitized? What does this new age performative activism bring and how is it tied into the art-scene and it's surrounding academia?
