On Boredom and 'Blogging
Well, here's the thing: when I read someone saying "I'm bored," I interpret that as saying "Entertain me." I realize that's my own reaction and I'm responsible for that. I'm also admitting that I have co-dependant tendencies and I want to fix things for people.
Experience has taught me that people who say they are bored are the most difficult people in the world to please on any level. Boredom, like so many other emotions, is a key indicator that something in your life needs to be addressed. No amount of entertainment is going to erase the reason those feelings arose.
As unhealthy as it may be, my anger is an attempt for me to distance myself from others' problems.
The previous post was inspired by a young woman who posted on an alternative modeling site "I was bored, so I took these pictures." The post was accompanied with several self-portraits.
I wanted to punch her in the throat.
I felt like she was saying "I am so alt! Look at me suffering ennui!"
Listen honey, there is nothing alt about boredom. It just makes you human. Normal even like the normals I'll bet you despise. So fuck you very much for the pictures.
So if you are bored with your job, or with classes, or your relationships, I get that. I get it. I've been there and I know how that feels.
But let's look at why you are bored. If you don't know why, that's your problem. I'm not your bitch. I'm not jumping through hoops for you.
Suck it up. And get away from me.
That's right, I said it.
