Why Your Life Is So Boring
Maybe it ought to change?
When we think about our life, we usually think about it in a form of a story.
First, we were born and then we did some things…
made some memories…
and now we’re here,
working at our job or whatever.
But in the future, we plan on doing more things,
seeing the world maybe,
and saving up enough money for an enjoyable retirement.
We all tend to view our lives in a sort of narrative structure like this, with the beginning, a middle and an eventual end.
…Which kinda makes sense because by reflecting on the past, it helps us make sense of where we are now,
and by having hopes and dreams for the future,
it gives us something to look forward to,
something to plan towards,
and if we currently don’t like our present situation,
we can place our pains and frustrations in the hope of a better tomorrow.
But if you think about what it feels like to actually live life,
like what it really feels like.
