Life is designed with different facets, sometimes it brings joy, some times it makes us feel as though we are very lucky to still be alive, other times it brings sorrows, pains and sometimes boredom. These things are completely natural we can't not avoid them. They are in theirselves a message to mankind. what makes life is the combination of both good and bad times. Like the popular saying, it is not everyday that is Christmas, so if it is not Christmas it means somedays would not be full of feasting and smiling, and happiness. Nevertheless, we are supposed to master all these times inorder to be able to live well. Unless one knows this times and position his/her heart in such a way that it can endure both the good and bad times, life might just look like a dungeon when the dark days comes.
My Experience
I have found myself in the horrible pit of boredom many times, in fact, almost everyday, Though not everyday hehe. Those moments life seems to be very annoying, nothing seems to satisfy the soul, the peace I often have that makes life sweet for me is also taken away during that moment

I think the propensity for boredom is very high when one is alone than when he/she is around lively people. Staying alone has made me look like the chief general of boredom affairs. I would love to share the experience I had just two days back. It all started when I realized that my data got exhausted. I woke up early in the morning that Wednesday and I began to feel unsual, everything I turned to looks like a thorn around me. Being a very stubborn human being, I decided to keep kicking it but each time I kicked it, it goes around and comes back with seven more dangerous demons hehe . I managed to get out of the bed and tidy the room. But after the chores my mood was not stable I disliked all the things that used to make me happy. I that cherish food a lot could not cook that day . I laid down to sleep but sleep refused to come, the people that used to make me feel alright were the ones annoying me that day. It was as if they planned it. Everything seem to turn it's back against me. I really can't explain how horrible the feeling of boredom is.
Boredom causes a lot of negative and unfruitful thoughts.
Soon my heart began to wander that day , it started from good thoughts then gradually negative thoughts began trooping in until I was clouded with nothing but evil inasmuch as I tried to kick against it, it soon over powered me. That was how I sat in my room, no friends to visit, my location is very far, and I was not having enough cash, at thesame time no one wanted to visit me. The friends on Facebook were not having my time, some were not even online, I managed to call someone to come online but the person claimed to be busy hmm! I tried and played one movie like that titled lie hard but I was not enjoying it. In fact it got me angry at some point, so I stopped it and dropped the phone . That was how I almost spent my entire day doing nothing profitable and being mad at myself for nothing, I couldn't check my notifications on peakD, I couldn't view status on WhatsApp, I couldn't watch Facebook videos hehe. I couldn't post anything because I had no data😭.
How I got out of it
I continued in that condition until evening, I tried all I could to be normal but it didn't work. there is this friend I have in the place where I live but he doesn't always stay at home, he is as scarce as Bitcoin, I even have gave up on checking up on him because I know I won't see him around but that day, I decided to just give it a try. I called his number and I was lucky enough he is at home. I reluctantly got dressed and head to his house, immediately I got there a movie was playing already so I joined them. It was one of my favorite movies back then, seeing it stirred up joy in my heart, guess which movie it was? Spider man 3 hehe. I got caught up by the movie while my friend was keeping us busy with his funny jokes. soon my boredom fizzled out and I didn't even want to go home. I really enjoyed every bit of my stay at his house. Since then , anytime I start suspecting boredom, I don't call him again, I just head straight to his place. If I meet him at home fine, if I don't fine but I rather take the risk than stay bored at home.
Thank you for reading through. Feel free to share your opinions with me on this matter. Thank you once more. Happy weekend 🥰
