Life is mostly boring.

Work isn’t “fulfilling.” It’s a way to pay the mortgage. |

| Boring means you’re living a good life. For me, unboring means a health issue, family issue, something in the house is broken and needs fixing, or a mental health/psychological issue. I love boring! Give me a peaceful life anyday. |

| It’s not boring, it’s depressing. |

| It's filled with stress and to-do items for me. I'd love to be bored - just sit back and read a book |

+1. I find myself reminiscing a lot about my mom’s life when I and my siblings were 13 and under. All the physical errands. Going to the bank. In person I’d play with the pen on the ball chain, wiggle it across the desk like a snake. At the drive up pneumatic tube, we would get a lolly pop. At the grocery store we would get an Archie comic at checkout if we were good and my mom would get an armful of tabloids - Star, Enquirer, Redbook, Good Housekeeping. People, Time, Highlights came in the mail. I remember going to Lamps Plus, a big store in Las Vegas. I remember hiding in the clothes racks at KMart, Sears, Dillards. All of this is all online now. It’s boring. |

Some days are boring but I’d say I do something I enjoy pretty much every day.
Do you have kids? You say you have friends - do you see them much? What would you consider not boring? |

My husband and kids are what bring me joy. And my extended family. |

| Are you kidding me. You need three ex-wives, five kids, two dogs and a cat and you'll be happy like me. |

Bro, I used to live out of my car. I used to cobble together 5 part-time jobs, some of which weren't exactly legal, trying to make ends meet. I used to eat leftovers the skinny rich people left on their plates at the fancy restaurant I was a server at, and have slept with people just to have a bed and a meal for a night. I know all the crazy folk and old-wives' remedies for most common illnesses because I couldn't afford to see a doctor for years (and we won't get into what happens to teeth when you can't afford that either...) Boring is a privilege. Yeah, my life some days gets "boring" because there's a routine now, and it's stable, and my bills get paid without worry and there's extra and my health is good and I have insurance. What a gift! How incredibly cool is my life that I can be comfortable and bored some days, and then have the means and ability to go entertain myself, even if it's just by sitting in my garden and feeding the birds, or taking a walk through my safe neighborhood. Someone in the world would be REALLY happy to have whatever "boring" problems you're dealing with today. Keep that in mind. |
