It is Friday evening. I am at home with my family knowing that a part of my friends are sitting at cafes and planning to go to clubs. For a year ago I would have this Friday night´s anxiety - where to go, what to do... Now I am really enjoying to be at home, enjoying lovely May and June nights on our terrace with a glass of wine with my family or friends. For a year ago I enjoyed the early morning light coming home, now I enjoy it waking up (if I do it so early). I even think that it is not always so nice to go to a cafe for dinner because the price does not always match the quality. I think it is much nicer to make fantastic food at home for people I really like instead of being forced to enjoy my meal with the people that happens to be around. Am I old? Am I boring? Grown up? Or maybe just come to the stage that Swedes call "livskvalitet" - the quality of life?

Boring or in the stage of quality of life?
I have thought for a while about in which moment we get boring, do we get boring at all and what does it really mean.

ReplyDelete:) I guess you are right
DeleteThings change & people too. You are not old,but just different & you see the things & people around you different...
ReplyDeleteCould be so :)
DeleteIn my point of view we are constantly floating between different stages in life, not connected to age or "growing up" nore places, rather on souroundings and feelings where we decide how to adopt to a certain situation. Might I even say some stages are for people who just want to adopt to their situation, others for making a difference or trying to make sence of life and some just to swallow what we really want and accept to be partly satisfied or settle with less. Sometimes we need more to feel the connection with this world, but sometimes less is more!
ReplyDeleteFrom time to time we have the urge to fit in...all said, we are "herd animals", but sometimes we just want to be-not to care and what other thinks does not matter. We all live in a world with double moral and with confusingly too many options. Sometimes it is easier to close your eyes and just point one out. That doesnt make us brighter, older or booring, but it does make life easier to follow.
I might be wrong about the age affecting,,,but in that case I would have been 40 allready at the age of 14 ;)
Just BE E>
Sorry for delayed reply! You might be right. However I think for me everything is happening more in stages although I cannot disagree that the stages can change, lose their meaning for some time and then maybe come back again. I guess the trick is to get into the flow with the things that are happening around and choose which harbour I really do want to visit and which one I do not. :)
