Kind of bored 🥱

Lately I have found myself bored with many parts of life. It just seems like there are fewer and fewer new places to explore near home, new things to learn, new experiences out there. Or maybe I’ve just gotten so comfortable with the status quo, and are unwilling to look harder?

Truth is most of the easy and obvious experiences have been found and done. Going back and doing again for a second time rarely has the thrill of doing it the first time. Moreover, the lesser known experiences are often harder to research and accomplish – if it was obvious – I’d probably already done it.

Your mid-40s are different then your twenties.  It’s to say vast wilderness and wild areas don’t exist, still it seems like I’ve gobbled up the big places, and now the smaller, hidden places are harder to find. Or if I want totally new places, the trips and travel only grow longer and more daunting – as goes with the idea of my now canceled trip this summer to Michigan.
