mean mr mustard says he's bored of life in the district...
there is a recurring theme in my blogs. and i’m beginning to get worried. in case you don’t catch on to context clues, the theme has something to do with being bored with life…and never being satisfied.
i don’t feel like i’m totally alone in feeling this way. i feel like our whole generation has been made to feel like nothing is ever good enough. we have been programmed to always desire more than what we have. and never be satisfied when we get it.
and i think that there are many other people who, like me, don’t want anyone else to really know this is how we feel. i think that we feel like it’s much easier if we just hide things away…and not expose our true selves to the world. because if we’re not vulnerable, then we can’t get hurt….right?
of course vulnerability increases your chances of being hurt, but opening up to people also allows you to experience life without feeling like a shell of a person. it allows you to create rewarding relationships with people who genuinely care about you and want to experience life with you.
why do we build up walls around ourselves? have we become so scared of getting hurt and so afraid what other people might think if they really knew the real us, that we have to build our own personal fortress to keep them out? i don’t know…but i’ve done it. i did a good job, too. it took a long time for those walls to start to come down…and i guess they’re still there to some degree…they’re just not as tall or as thick as they were.
so, what are we supposed to do? when do we stop being bored? when do we stop being scared? when do we learn to trust people and open up to people and live life with reckless abandonment? how long are we going to wait?
