Greetings!
One thing about life is that it will not always offer us the best that we deserve and instead, it gives us the opposite of what we deserve or long for, and when this happens it turns out to become boring.
Boredom is something that comes to every individual at one stage of their lives or the other. It happens when everything is not working as expected or when one expectation is being cut short.
Also, boredom can be as a result of a man or woman not doing anything and when we are not doing anything, the next thing that happens to us is boredom and one thing about this is that, there's always a reaction to being bored.
Having said this, I would like to share my view about the topic which is “boredom caused it.”
Like the popular saying in my area which says that, “you don't talk or react whenever you are happy or sad.” Yes, this is true, it's never good to react or talk on these two occasions.
However, when it comes to being bored as a result of things not working as expected, people tend to react and one of such moments in my life was when I approached a friend of mine whose things were working to come to my aid when I was down with nothing on me or nothing to do.
Then, I approached my good friend who I believed with his wealth would help me at the trying time of my life, but instead of him helping me, all he was doing was to mock me with my situation and even told our fellow friends.
There's a time I overheard a friend of ours telling another friend of ours about my plight and this time I couldn't hold it any longer, I went home and cried for hours and it's then this guy called to asked of me, but since I knew what he was up to and that he was not that genuine with his checking on me, I flared up with him on phone and I asked him not to call me again.
I regretted calling him at my bored moment and this was because I don't like being disappointed, but because I have nothing to do. I didn't have a choice but to call him for help, and all he did was to mock me.
Immediately, I hung up the phone and deleted his contact on my phone. I blocked him from every possible channel he might use in reaching me and since then, I have never heard from him.
Although the decision was so hard to make, out of boredom, I took the decision and there's nothing I could do about it. Though, I'm not the type that loves to burn bridges, but this time I just have to do so just to make peace with myself and stay out of boredom.
So, ever since then, I have always stayed guided and whenever i see the sign of boredom coming I tackle by not allowing it to overwhelm my emotions.
