Bored If You're Boring
I once had this grade-school teacher who must've heard zillions of pre-pube kids complaining about being bored. I can remember how whiny it sounded to hear someone say it, "I'iiimmm BORED." Maybe that's why she responded the same way each time by saying "If you're bored, it's because you're boring." Obviously it stuck with me and I think it may have been one of the many reasons that decided I could absolutely NOT be happy living a dull, lackluster life. It was my first lesson in being responsible for my own inner state. Many adventures and counting later, I continue to make an effort to entertain myself.
Spontaneous aside: Digging around in my wallet today, I found this fortune from some long-forgotten cookie that made me laugh- "Wealth is not only money. Wealth can be happiness in your sweetheart or your honey."
Cheers to all that makes us happy...
That's it. I'm on the first flight to wherever the hell it is that you live. Is there an airport there? Seriously, when we're done moving, we have to catch up. I promise, I'm NEVER boring.
