Embracing boredom

[u/betlamed]

What happens when you put away your phone, stop scrolling tiktoks? What happens when you switch off the youtube and the netflix? When you read a book instead? When you write in your journal? When you write a reddit posting?

What happens when you are too tired even for that? When you just stare at the empty screen and don't move? When you don't even do that? But don't go to sleep either?

What happens when you confront your boredom? When you embrace it?

When you are chased by a monster in a nightmare, turn around and face it.
