Among the list of what can make someone do the unspeakable thing, you may never have imagined Boredom to be on the list if it has never happened to you or you are never in the spot ever before. Boredom will make you become a shadow of yourself if care is not taken.
Normally, we don't expect ourselves to be filled with activities every 365 days or 4,380 hours of daytime of our lives. No matter how agile we are to getting ourselves fixed to do one thing or the other, there will still be some moments where we get to be free and then boredom starts the starring, looking directly into our eyes.
I never really knew how strong boredom used to feel like until I stopped being an employee and I had the free will of myself to do the things I wanna do at my own time, more time for myself to chip in other things or time to be free of doing nothing.
Have I really dealt with boredom? I wouldn't say Yes and I wouldn't say No. All thanks to social media for been my aid in times of boredom troubles. I could say social media is a really great tool for me in preventing boredom on my part as there will be one or two to see that would make me smile, learn or scold on seeing to while away my free time. I barely go out so seeing friends or refreshing out of my four walls is rarely on my list if at all boredom comes knocking.
But the times I get to experience real boredom is when I'm out of Internet data, lol.
Like, it's so horrible especially if it falls in time when it's so exhausted that I can't even turn on and off my phone's airplane mode to make a message deliver or even access my account for topup. (I do that mostly when I am annoyed at how my data just finished in low time as if someone used it on my behalf) So until I get to tap into someone's heritage of hotspot, my boredom gets to look at me eyeball to eyeball.
Even sleep doesn't get to come at free will during this period of boredom as anything whatsoever just keeps flashing through my mind which may later cause some frustrating mood.

I'm not sure I've ever done something weird or regretted when I was bored since I always ensure to think twice before making a decision.
At worse, I might just result to seeing movies that I've downloaded on my phone and use the opportunity to do justice to them by seeing all episodes I couldn't have finished in days for just some hours and that will be because I no longer have Internet data like I mentioned above OR the movie was recommended to me.
In summary, Social Media Plus my internet data has always been my saving grace when it comes to not being bored. Only God knows what might or would have become of me it it were to be times when there was no phone or no reliance on Internet data or social media.
I'll be dropping my 🖊️ here on the Hive Learners community prompt on Boredom.
