I think I just don't like or want to do the same thing every day.

It doesn't challenge me.

I don't think it's a bad thing to get bored easily anymore though. Or to like trying new things. To be a bit unsteady and unstable. I think I'm just going to have to deal with who I am and stop trying to fix and just accept. Make it work and find my peace because the years go by so quickly and I don't know how much I have left so I think the world is just going to have to deal with me. Or not. I like being challenged and learning endlessly apparently.

With so much being accessible in the world today, getting bored is natural. You only have so much time to invest in something before a new, more interesting thing comes along and takes your focus away. On the plus side, it does help you realise what you are really interested in because no matter how many new things/interests/people come along, you'll always make time for the first ones or the newer ones, which you don't want to let go of.

@Beautifullyderanged I truly enjoyed trying new things and learning. Even before all the technology, I learned so much in all areas. A lot of it I was taught hands on. It's life to me.

I wish you the best. I think actually you are going to do great if you follow this path, of arranging your world according to who you are and not the other way around.

@Boeing Thank you 🤗

I think so too. I can't fit the mold, but I've met plenty of people who thrived without ever needed to. I did try for a long time to be what society expected and I learned a lot along the way. It will be interesting to see what's next and that thought alone feels 100000x better than trying to stick with something I hate because it "pays the bills"...

I'll still have to pay the bills, but I have to do it my way. As long as I have something to leave my son, I'm good.

This is how I've been feeling. I don't think humans were meant to live this way. Or maybe not some of us. There's nothing I can do about it though. I'm kind of trapped. Unless I want to go live out in the woods with no shelter or food.

@MsSwan It is like a prison of bills of normalcy. I agree, we aren't meant to live this way at all. We are just part of a system that makes the wealthy more wealthy. That's not a purposeful life. That's not doing anything for the future except dooming it to be boring.

I think there's a way out. I found it before but it wasn't quite sustainable, so I think I can figure it out. I'll let you know lol
