Tell me something.
What?
When was the last time you were bored?
Probably yesterday.
And what did you do?
I picked up my phone.
There it is.
You have forgotten how useful boredom can be.
Useful?!
Yes. Terribly unfashionable, I know.
When everything is entertaining, nothing feels particularly special anymore.
The first delicious meal is wonderful.
The tenth is still delicious, but your mind has already started asking what comes next.
So I should enjoy less?
No. Enjoy better.
Give things your full attention.
Eat without scrolling. Walk without filling every second with noise. Sit somewhere beautiful and actually look at it.
That sounds suspiciously peaceful.
It is. You may survive.
And occasionally deny yourself something you could easily have.
Why?
Because anticipation is part of pleasure.
If you satisfy every craving immediately, you teach your mind that wanting something is unbearable.
It is not.
So I should practise waiting?
Yes. Let yourself want something without immediately reaching for it.
A person who can enjoy pleasure is fortunate. A person who can enjoy simplicity is free.

Thoughts

You arrive at a street… It’s a corner even. Where? What? You look at the map again. Mhm. It seems that you have to put your back to the church and your nose towards the corner of a street; Mirallers.
