Stop Being Fucking Bored

I don't care what you say, boredom is a choice. You can always choose to not do anything and become bored. You can choose to do the same activities that have lost your interest, and become bored. You could be doing something you thought you'd love doing, and end up bored. That's understandable. What's not understandable is why you'd settle for only doing just that.

No one likes wasting time. We never get that shit back. Once it's gone, it's fucking gone, and we have to learn how to move on. A lot of people are willing to admit defeat and accept boredom. They'll not look for something else to do because the thought never occurred that they can stop the cycle of doing nothing by doing something. It sounds simple but usually people that are bored are already giving up, so here are a few things to realize about your boredom.

  • You've been uninspired in your life to take on new things, so you keep doing the same stuff because that's in your comfort zone. But you know what's outside of your comfort zone? BEING INTERESTING! So give it a rest and try something different, even if you may not like it.
  • You're afraid of failing at a new thing, so you do the same stuff. Guess what? Everyone has that fear, and we've learned to move on with it. Once you're over the big, bad fear of failure, you can go and do something fun. And even if you do fail, you're not the first person to fail at it either, so you're in a safe club. If everyone could do everything and never fail, then that would be awful. It'd be the same as being boring; you need to be engaged and challenged by something different, so enjoy the struggle.
  • You've already invested a lot of time and energy into doing the same stuff and achieving this status with this stuff, so you don't want to lose it by doing something else. Look, it's hard to let go of time you've spent into this thing but if you didn't strive for that, you wouldn't have known that you didn't like it. It's a tough loss but once you let go, you can do something else about it. You'll feel a million times better when you let go. Know why?

    CUZ YOU WON'T BE FUCKING BORED ANYMORE!
