Surviving Boredom

Moving in to a new place really does have a lot of drawbacks. It seems I am not living a normal life. I am bored most of the time. Good thing I was able to borrow books in the office. It now occurred to me that I read books now, not mainly to learn, but to let the time pass.

Living alone sure is hard. I have done this before, during college. But it was different back then because I was living with my childhood friends, so it really wasn’t that hard. I was even enjoying every moment of it. But right now, I am living with people I do not really know. They are friendly and all, but relationships are not established by mere hi’s and hello’s. I understand that this takes time, but my impatience just insists that it would have been better if my friends are here.

In a nutshell, this is quite a new experience that would help me become a better person in the long run. Sooner or later, I would be doing this thing more often, as my quest for a good life would surely not stop right here. As young as I am, there are still more places to go and more people to meet. After all, my gosh, I am still in Mindanao! I whine here as if i am thrown to a kingdom far far away. Geez, what a shame!

This boredom and loneliness will pass, I know. But the experiences that would be forged in my stay in an unfamiliar place would surely prepare me for greater challenges ahead. I guess that consolation would sustain me for a couple of days, I suppose, before another blow of boredom and loneliness hits my solitary existence once again.

Goodluck to mahself then.
