idfw resolutions but THIS YEAR I want to be bored more!! not gonna queue up a podcast, show, or scroll and scroll. boredom breeds creativity or like… really silly takes!!!
no one is bored, everything is boring. making time in your day to be decidedly bored, unoccupied, off your phone, wandering lousily, a tiny bit lazy, and creative is very refreshing.
i feel like i gotta let myself be bored more. i freak out when i have nothing stimulating or nothing to do, but in a society that relies so heavily on productivity and buying stuff, how about i just let myself have nothing to do? and allow the feelings that come with it i guess. half the time im only doing things to show people i do things.
I've seen people talking about how doomscrolling is filler time and you make no memories. 100%!!! Like I'll be bored for one second and then I'm on TikTok for two hours and that isn't an exaggeration. The other day I just let myself be bored and not scroll and like yeah I was super bored but I walked around the house and I took in my actual life a little bit and then I found something to do and I just felt like I gained my time back kind of.
I also just think recently I've felt like I have to time to do the stuff that's important to me or that I enjoy but really I've just been sucked into a scrolling black hole and that suddenly I have time to do anything I want!
