Hello, Everyone.
I welcome you to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learner's featured post. As an adult, one of the things you must learn to fight and, at all costs, find a way to win the fight is the fight against letting boredom control your actions and decisions. If you let boredom control your actions and decisions, you will keep making decisions that will leave you in tight corners, and you will keep taking actions that you end up regretting for a very long time. Some of us made decisions out of boredom, and the consequences of doing so still haunt us till now. The consequences that come with doing things out of boredom are sometimes very costly and don't go away easily.
Boredom can cause you to be at the wrong place, boredom can cause you to make wrong decisions, and boredom can cause you to be involved in things that you would not be involved in on a normal day or on a day where you are productive or busy. Boredom, in layman's terms, simply refers to that feeling that steps in when you have nothing to do, when you are not engaged, when you have an unproductive day with no plans at all, and once that feeling steps in, you will want to do certain things for it to go away and that way end up making wrong choices or getting involved in things that will leave you with nothing but regrets.
The one decision I made out of boredom that still haunts me to date happened sometime back; friends asked that we all hang out and have fun, but I was not in the mood for that, so I turned down their invitation and asked that they go ahead and have fun. They all left me all alone at home, and the big house echoes just from my footsteps and the music I was listening to. I had nothing to do; I was unengaged and was just moving from one corner of the room to the other corner of the room, and the feeling of being bored started to step in, and in order to make it go away, I called my friends and asked where they were so I could meet them, and maybe with people around, things will be different.
I got to the location and realized one of my phones was missing, and I was not missing just a phone. My ATM card was nowhere to be found too. I did not even enter the lounge my friends were at, as I had to retrace my steps immediately to see if I could find any of the missing things. I searched and kept calling the phone, but no one was picking up, and at some point I had to give up the search. The phone that went missing had a lot of important documents on it, and the ATM card too was the only one I had then. I had to undergo the stress of visiting my bank to get another one done.
I regretted ever stepping out of the house in the name of being bored and needing some company. If I had stayed at home, maybe things would have been different; I would not have misplaced my phone and my card because how everything happened is unexplainable. All I remembered was coming out of the house and boarding a bike with everything in my pocket, but reaching the venue, some things were missing. Experiencing boredom from time to time is part of life, which makes devising a means to fight it very important.
Yeah, staying at home sometimes can prevent a lot of things from happening, and I'm sorry about what happened to you, my friend.
Seriously you would almost wanna beat yourself on why you had to leave home for that place that day and I'm sure the fun you intended to have that day got spoilt with your lost stuffs
