So like I was thinking the other day when I was just sittin’ and doing nothing, like literally nothing, just scrolling phone then throwing it away then again picking it up and again nothing happening. And then I was like, bro I’m bored. But then suddenly I realized like wait… this is kinda nice?? Like I got tired of all that noise and reels and songs and everyone talking all the time, and then in that boring moment I kinda just felt peaceful, you know? Like brain was actually quiet for once.
Then I started thinking all these random ideas like what if we just disappear for a day and see who notices, or like I should open a tea café but only serve toast and chai, that’s it lol. I know sounds dumb but it made me laugh and yeah that’s when I realized like bro, being bored makes you think weird stuff and sometimes that’s fun.
And also when you're bored you kind of just sit with yourself, no phone, no calls, nothing. And you realize you actually don’t need to do anything to just exist for a bit. Like when was the last time you just laid down and stared at the fan spinning? I did that and lowkey felt like a philosopher.
Also boredom makes you try stuff. Like I was so bored one day I cleaned my shelf and found my old drawing book and then I drew something and it was actually not bad ngl. And if I wasn’t bored, I wouldn’t have touched that book for years.
And bro, you also start noticing little stuff like how your tea smells or how your chair creaks when you sit or how the dog outside barks at the same time every day. And it’s kinda funny how you miss all that when you’re busy watching 20 reels in 5 mins.
So yeah what I’m saying is boredom feels trash when you’re in it, but it actually good for brain and you and life and stuff. And maybe don’t escape it all the time. Like just be bored and vibe a bit.
Trust me something always comes out of it. Even if it’s just a funny thought or you remembering a song you forgot or suddenly realizing you wanna paint or write or idk bake a cake or cry or whatever you wanna do.
