Is your life interesting?

[43goingunder]

If it is, in what way? How do you make it interesting, what do you do?

Not in the slightest.
Chronic health conditions, I’m in bed by 8pm exhausted. DH is bored, DC bored & I have no energy to have a life.
I’m in my 40’s buy may as well be 90!

At the risk of giving a stupid answer, I find my life fairly interesting but I suspect many would find it much less so.

I made / make it interesting by finding a career that stimulates the mind, and pursuing hobbies / interests in my spare time!

My one regret is that I have spent far too many nights hanging out with friends and work colleagues when I could have been at home reading a book or researching interests online or pursuing those interests. Or I could have been out by myself at a gallery or a show.

Yes it is. Lots of friends, close family, v interesting job, live in central London, go to lots of cultural things and travel a lot (pandemic permitting).

I appreciate that this is subjective but I'm not bored.

Yes

I enjoy my part time job
Love my family
Have great friends
And… I’m dating

And got holidays to look forward and threatre trips

Oh and running in the countryside is glorious for the soul

Mines a joke,
Despite my best efforts I don't know why I get out of bed
It's a shit show

Yes. But looking at it from the outside it looks dull.
It’s all about knowing what you want

It’s still a shitshow though @dreamofaVWcamper

It's really interesting, genuinely lots of new experiences, change, stepping out of my comfort zone. I love it

Dull as dishwater, not much likelihood it will change either.

I’m so sorry What is your condition?

Not remotely.

@DeletedByAccident Oh 😞so sorry, how old are your kids?

Yes I think my life is interesting but maybe not to anyone looking in.

I read and research a lot, enjoy going down worm holes and doing a deep dive. I miss study so this satisfies that urge. I love my dog, walking him is great. My daughter does dance competitions and I love planning those and sorting outfits etc. I work from home and am self employed so am flexible to be able to go out once a week for lunch with friends. I also have an allotment so researching and growing bits there keeps me passionate about the natural world.

My passions and desire for a really good critical thinking session keep it interesting as it means I can look into anything which comes along and lots of opportunities are suddenly visible. I make notes on what I read and like to throw thoughts down as they come along

I would say my life has been interesting but now it's a bit boring.

I kind of like it though. I still go out a lot, see shows and gigs. I also swim in the sea and walk in the countryside.

I spent years travelling the world, firstly for fun then later for work. I had so many adventures, but now I have children.

Right now? No, it's calm, relaxing but not interesting. Oh well interesting is overrated.

Yes. I'm not sure anyone else would consider it exciting but I'm easily pleased.

Hmm 🤔 think I’m needing new challenges, Career I enjoyed most of my life but did get a little bored of. Now a Sahm to my toddler, love it in some ways, but also can be very boring at times..missing something I guess?
I live abroad in a beautiful place, nice friends, partner, house, but no hobbies etc. Not really had the time..how can I make it more interesting when toddler is a pre school? I would so love to do a part time masters online, but can’t afford to shell out money for that.

Well the landscape of my mind is very interesting

And I love living in it - I could sit and stare out the window all day and daydream with one of the dogs on me

Really interesting im really lucky. My house is covered with lego!

I’m always looking for new
Shows, books, holidays, adventures with the Children, local forests to explore with the children, interesting restaurants to visit with family and friends.

When I began to find work tedious, i job hunted and found a new one.

An interesting life won’t be handed to you on a plate.

It requires effort
But so very worth it

I've just bought a 2 year old Arab horse - interesting times ahead for me

No, but I'm fairly content, and that's more important to me.

@43goingunder I found those years so tough. Making things helped. Are you crafty? Could you find a craft which is mind exercising as well as creative, something complex?

Depends what you consider interesting. I co parent with my ex. I go out a lot socialising and travel, I like to go to concerts and spend weekends enjoying new cities. My job is boring as fuck though and I have no love life!
