What do you do when you feel bored with life?

Me well I delve into novels and movies just to escape reality.

One reality I want to escape is people who take others for granted. Or just use them to get some of their joy or happiness, money or just to make themselves feel better and then just drop them.

I'm sure I've done the same or had it happen to me yet I often don't mind cause it means some wants to spend time with you and that you matter for that period of time.

Or I just like being on the edge of crowds so I don't get used anymore.

The Ultimate Gift

We each have been given gifts in life whether we realise it or not. These gifts include:

• The Gift of work
• The Gift of laughter
• The Gift of money
• The Gift of Gratitude
• The Gift of Friends
• The Gift of Giving
• The Gift of Family
• The Gift of Dreams
• The Gift of a Day
• The Gift of Learning
• The Gift of Love

When I'm feeling down I watch The Ultimate Gift its an amazing movie. It makes me appreciate these gifts that I have been given and help me not to take them for granted.

I'm fine

But am i really. I could be scared of what the future holds. Or I don't quite know how I'm feeling. I'm stressed cause I'm staying up night trying to escape this reality that has a hold on me. Cause its safer to not face it and then that will make it not real. I'm not good with change. It means that I have no control over what is happening. That my routine will change. I like systems. There is no real system for what I'm going through. I'm trying to keep the faith yet the doubts are there. The future is unknown and it call all change in a flash.

But when you ask how I'm doing I'll tell you I'm fine.
