TREATING BOREDOM

You may never find me saying that I am bored. I've thought about it, boredom I mean, trying to figure out the times I was bored and how I fared. I found nothing.

I actually do not think that I ever get bored. My routine is usually the kind that any other person would think of as boring, but I do not. It's normal. I like to stay active, I think. Just, I feel like, the things I do to stay active would be considered as nothing to others.

I don't know how best to address this topic of boredom, but I get to feel some of that, every once a while and mainly, I just do any one of the usual, everyday things that I do most often. In no particular order, it could be:

To read a book

I want to believe that I have established this part of my life very well, on here. I mean, those who come by my blog often should know that I love to read books in and out of season. Without even thinking much about it, what else can beat getting lost in some interesting work that leaves your mind fully engaged, teaching you, helping build your vocabulary and subconsciously too your writing prowess, spiking your emotions up and down depending on the plots and scenes, you know, all of that? What beats that? Books are a great pasttime for me. With books alone, I'm all good.

I clean

That's a weird one, I know. I just don't know why and how I became drawn to cleaning. When I feel like I'm bored, I could just be looking around and then my eye catches something that's out of place. From getting up to keep it properly, I could get immersed in full-blown tidying. It's just my thing

See one of my favorites.

I'm not drawn to seeing movies. Most of the time, after seeing a movie just a few hours, I feel like I wasted the time. I promise you, I wouldn't feel that same way if I spent that time reading. However, I do have a couple of videos(not exactly movies) that I do not mind going over. They range from perfume hauls to etiquette/self development clips to my best movies from long ago and to photo-/videography and editing videos. This is basically all of it. They keep me occupied and glad.

Write.

I do this. Not so much as I used to. Maybe if I had some good words forming in my head, I would pen them down. And you know what, cleaning actually pulls out all the words and sets a good base, I don't know how.

Sometimes too, I play some music until I feel like it's disturbing my thought flow and I can no longer deal.
It would have been nice to add that I sleep, too. But I don't. That's a struggle. Instead, I just lay still and let my mind wander(if it pleases).

And there, that's all of it.
All thar u could think of while writing this.
They sure help me through those moments until it passes.

Thanks for gracing this post.
