I currently work full-time in Japan as a "Salary Man" but I'm on my way to becoming a full-time creator and contribute to society through making content that I believe in and matter to me.

This is my dream and I know I won't be able to make this happen without the support from each and every one of you. So it would be great if you could support my life journey by joining "The Community".

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this video!

"The boring life" is a privileged life! People go through all kinds of life's struggles and then realize this.

I loved making this video! I hope you enjoy watching it :)

I needed to hear this. Because I have a boring life and I'm happy. *It's so peaceful and uncomplicated*

The older I get, the more joy I find in a simple, consistent life with not too many surprises. Totally get this haha

You are wise beyond your years. I’m also happy leading a “boring” life. Now that I’m retired, people ask me what I do all day. I always reply, “Whatever I want to do.” Usually I just read, cook, enjoy my pugs & family, go for walk—all simple things. Although I’m sorry about the whole pandemic & its atrocious effects on the world, I have had no trouble adjusting to being at home. It’s a gift to be content with oneself. Best wishes to you!

I don't need an extravagant life, I just want to live my life as peacefully as I can ✌🏻

When I was 7 loved reading comic books and monster magazines and going to the drive-in. At 53, love reading comic books and monster magazines and going to the drive-in. Perfect life lived.

I had such ambition 20 years ago. I wanted to film documentaries and inspire and make a positive impact on society. Now, I know that the general public is fucking hopeless so I am just going to relax, garden, be a positive or neutral contributor to society, and donate monthly to charity to justify my unproductive existence.

I like taking care of my plants and spending time with them, I like youtube, I like meaningful conversations with anyone, my meditation times, music, long morning walks, cooking, I like books too and research papers.

I wish my family would understand this. They're always trying to "save" me from my life. They think I'm bored, lonely, sad, etc... But really the only problem is with people trying to change how I live. I'm perfectly content living a simple life.

Boring is good. Stability and consistency are underrated.

I’m so happy to watch this. I’m “boring”. I enjoy the things around me, rather than rushing around trying to find the next big thing. I don’t care who doesn’t like it. I’m content with myself enough to travel alone, go to concerts alone, and invite friends if I want to. It’s only when I try to accommodate someone else’s wishes to be exciting, is when I feel anxiety.

[lornam]

I agree with every word, it's such a joy to have these words expressed so perfectly. I love my boring life too - I'm so grateful to eat well, enjoy good books, YouTube, painting and my small family. I love my home and don't want any adventures :)

Well I wish I had had your wisdom years ago! I am 66 years old ...recently retired...and I am just beginning to learn to love my boring life and find value in taking care of my animals, doing my gardening, and even cleaning up the trash in my neighborhood everyday. I stopped trying to compare myself to what I was seeing on social media... like there was something wrong with me. I have learned slowly to find contentment and joy in all of the simple things in my life and around me. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and your insights and taking the time to put together a well-thought-out video that offered us hope!

You are fortunate to have come to this realization at a relatively young age. I spent decades wondering why I was 'different', and doing things others thought were fabulous fun was mentally exhausting. A quiet day at home with my family is heaven to me. I have drastically cut the time I spend on social media (even youtube!) and am working toward building a life of MY dreams.

[tandanguyen]

Dear Sena, you are not living a "boring life" at all. As long as you enjoy and feel happy with what you are doing, it is an exciting life :)

In my 20s I spent all my time on road trips, skateboarding, exciting hobbies, social media, friends, wanting to be noticed. By 28 I was uneducated, unemployed, $25k in debt, and frustrated.
In my 30s I've stayed home and studied, found a high-paying consistent job, paid off all my debt, moved into a nice house, and save 50% of my income. At 33, life is simple and I'm happiest I've ever been.
