Hello my loves! I know it's been about a month since my last post, I don't really have a reason for low-key abandoning this creative endeavor other than I've been working through a lot of things dealing with my mental health. Anyways, I am back and I definitely want to be more active with not just my blog but all of my platforms. In the last month I've re-started my YouTube channel and I finally created a TikTok account. I'm going to be honest and say that I've been tearing myself into pieces trying to figure out how to use these platforms, cue the closeted perfectionist in me, but I don't really have a plan for either of them except for two things. One, I want to be as authentically myself and as sincere as possible, and two, I want to post what I think is interesting not trends or what's going to get views or followers. I know these two things seem super obvious in hindsight but it wasn't until I turned on the camera and recorded myself for the first time that I realized how easy it is to fall into the trap of creating a "persona" that will perform well. I don't know exactly when or what I'll post but it's probably going to be pretty spur of the moment since that's when my creativity is at a high.
Anyways, the concept of boredom was one I never understood even as kid because of "overactive" imagination. I have to say that as an adult I think that boredom is a choice because there are is always something you can do to fill your time. I caught myself falling into this trap recently, I thought to myself "my life is so boring, I have nothing to do and nothing going on". This couldn't be further from the truth and I was the one choosing for my life to be sedentary because life is what you make it after all. I don't think there is such a thing as a boring life or even a boring person, what's exciting to you may not be exciting to someone else and that's okay but that doesn't mean you deserve to be labeled in such a negative way.
The word "boring" isn't such a bad word but the connotation behind it is what most of society finds negative. There are other words that you can use to describe things like calm, relaxed, low-key and so on.
Finding new and exciting ways to fill your time can be such a fun process because you may stumble upon hidden talents or skills you didn't know you had, or you may find a new passion for something along the way. Your life can be as interesting as you make it, all you have to do is choose to be active in some way and that's it. You really don't need to justify it to anyone else either, as I said what some of us find fun or exciting others don't which is just a part of human nature. In this way, while discovering new hobbies you could also meet new potential friends who connect with you through the things you're interested in.
We live in a time where ANYTHING can be considered a niche or a hobby which I think is amazing because we often judge ourselves for what we find interesting unless there's a mass of other people who engage in the same thing but hobbies are meant for your enjoyment regardless of who gets it or not.
This all applies to everyone but for anyone who is in their early-twenties and finds themselves in a transition phase of life let me tell you that this is the best time to explore new and fun things. This may sound cheesy but we're only going to be in this era of our lives once, an era that for most of us consists of a lot of freedom but also feelings of being lost. You don't have to be lost though, hang on to the things that you love and that make you happy and let the universe work out what's in store for you next.
Love always,
The Anxious Girl Boss
