Summer 1975. I'm on the couch and sighing heavily. My mom walks by. Sensing my ennui, she asks, “What's wrong?“ Me: “I'm bored.“ Cue long pause. Mom: “Did you ever consider the fact that you might be BORING? It's summer, and you can't find something to do? That's on YOU. It's up to you to make your life interesting--nobody but you.“
Still the best advice I've ever received. 💜
AmyG I used to tell my kids something similar. You want to do something-make the call. Because if you wait…you‘ll be doing nothing. Wise Mom! 12mo
