I really don’t get bored as long as I have access to a few things, a computer, the internet, a book, my phone. However, there are things that we might have to do that we consider boring. One way to approach it is to go in with the mindset that this boring thing might end up becoming interesting later. I’ve found the more you do something, the more interesting it gets. It’s a beautiful experience. Sure, it might be boring now, but keep at it and you’ll find it interesting.

PROMPT: Do you have a one-sided relationship?
