Ever caught yourself daydreaming about something that just isn't quite right?
Ever caught yourself of a date with someone that you KNEW you couldn't bring to Sunday dinner?
Ever found yourself caught up in soooooo much drama because of one wrong move that you made?
Yes. All of these things happen to the best of us. Many of us write it off as a "learning experience," when in reality we could have went without that experience.
It's apart of human nature to want to chase a thrill. We all want to know if the grass is really going to be greener on the other side. And we all have a desire to be a bad ass at some point. But what happens when curiosity really starts killing the cat. What happens when your thrill becomes just a bit too thrilling for your taste? What happens when you go peeking to see if the grass is really greener but all you find are weeds and snakes in the grass?
Sometimes, we get bored with life. And start looking for what I call "trouble." Most of the time, we don't even realize that the decisions that we are about to make, because of BOREDOM, is gonna cause heaps of trouble. When we're bored, we act on impulse. Oftentimes, just ready for whatever, because we're bored...looking for that thrill. Feeling like our garden is turning brown so u wanna go snoop around and see if it's greener over there. Bad Idea.
Most of the time, the things we do out of boredom, are things that don't even fit our character. They're not natural to us. We don't even want to do it most of the time. But we do, for the couple of seconds of the rush. The fun. The thrill. And when we do things that we really don't wanna do soon follows regret. And after regret follows mess. You'll then realize that the grass isn't greener and you've probably made a bad move.
We often have friends who live certain lifestyles that we want to get a taste of..Or we often want to go places just to see how it is..Or we want to do things just to say that it's been done. And when we're bored, of course, its easier to give in your curiosity that should remain curiosity only. We then begin to dibble and dabble in things that doesn't have our name written on and clearly isn't for us. Then when it's all said and done and tomorrow is here, and last night is a memory..we're stuck with a regret. All because we felt that our personal life was "boring," and we decided to chase a thrill.
Everthing isn't for everybody. Let me say it again. Everything isn't for everybody.
We have got to become comfortable in our own skin. We have got to become comfortable with our own lives. It's not always necessary to chase a thrill..because 9 times out of 10 the grass in your own garden is greener. Almost all of the time, what we desire, what we need, what we want is right in front of us. We may have to open our hearts and look inside, maybe even shake things up and make slight changes. But it's THERE. It's not necessary to snoop in another garden and then check it off as a "lesson learned." Was that lesson really necessary? Couldn't you have taught yourself that? Wasn't it pretty self explanitory?
When life get's boring, think twice before you chase that thrill. What you need is right in front of you. You just have to look.
