Reinterpreting the idea that 'getting bored is bad'

I have been told my whole life that I am a trend-chaser.

I love new things, clothes, and unknown experiences, and my interests shift from one place to another.
Rather than being the type to settle down in one place, even though I am an indoor person, friends have even told me, "You're like a nomad."
At the time, it sounded a bit like sarcasm.
I felt like they were saying I was restless.
Thinking about it now, well, I'll admit that's true.


Generally, "continuing" is considered a virtue.


Even in the Reiwa era.Giving up easily is bad.
Being easily bored is a shortcoming.There are many situations where I feel the value system that says if you start something, you should continue it.
I think times are changing, but since "quitting immediately" becomes news, I think it is still

a "hard-to-understand feeling"


.
But, even if there were "great people who got bored easily" in the past, and even if they left behind something like "quotes about giving up," I haven't really seen them.
I could probably find them if I looked, but that's not the point.Of course, if you meet something you truly love and are happy to continue it forever, I think that is truly wonderful.But it feels a bit suffocating when even things you continue out of a sense of duty or for the sake of appearances are justified just by the fact that you are "continuing" them.So, I would like to quietly propose this.

Getting bored is not the "end of a relationship."
Why not think of it as just a change in distance

?
Curiosity moves.

Your gaze shifts to the side.
It's just that, but isn't the word "bored" often taken too strongly?
It is by no means shelving things or being defiant.
When you think about it,


You can choose because you get bored.
You can compare because you get bored.

You can see your own outline because you get bored.
And strangely enough,
people return to what is truly important to them.

After keeping a little distance, more quietly than before, but surely.
Conversely, the more you continue things out of inertia when there is nothing left to dig up, the more you lose the chance to let go.

Honestly, I have gained a lot from being easily bored.


I didn't have to stay in places that didn't suit me, and by being able to think "this isn't it," I was able to reach the next option sooner.
If I had counted everything I couldn't continue as a failure, I probably wouldn't be who I am today.The moment you get bored is not an eternal farewell.
It is like a sign from your heart that says, "This isn't the place for me right now."
I was a little hesitant to express these values, but I am writing this down, believing that there is someone out there who will empathize with me.

Getting bored is not bad.

If you found even a little value in this note, I would be happy if you could support it with a "Like."
Thank you for reading.
