Bored or Too Involved ?

There are a lot of boredom defenders on the internet.

They’ll say things like, “creativity is born through boredom” or “better to be bored than busy” but before you allow yourself to sit and meditate about nothing, how good are you with extra time?

Most of us suck.

Boredom is actually an attitude, I’d know, I’m always bored.

It means you’re barely involved in the present, it means you’re escaping— whether that be from reality, current circumstances, family, idk— but you’re choosing to be somewhere else rather than here.

The problem with this is what it does to your natural joy threshold.

You want to be captivated instead of engaged and then end up looking to be entertained rather than present.

This is the depression, anxiety, and piss away your life, formula. Boredom is another option for participating in waste.

If you don’t have a thing to give a damn about, choose one. Just get overly involved in something, be about it, learn to dance with each part of life.

At least this way, the moments you make become something memorable. And the life you live isn’t one of a passive observer.
