It’s not that there’s nothing to do. Your brain is just uninteresting, even for you Honeybun.

The most common reason why many adults find themselves bored with life is because we lack (say it with me class) I-M-A-G-I-N-A-T-I-O-N.

There. I said it. You can pick up your pitchforks if you want to.

We let society beat us to the ground with its structure, its rules and its regulations to the point that we’ve internalized the mundanes of how society portrays everyday life.

We let things become routine, we let things become normal, we let ourselves become normal and then we rely on entertainment and social media to keep our lives interesting and to make us happy.

The reason why so many adults find themselves bored is because we have lost the art of make believe, of creativity, and of being able to take a cardboard box and pretend it’s a spaceship.

I'm a young woman with a lot of shit to say, and sometimes, I don't know how to say it. I have a deep desire to understand myself and the world around me.
