Why I Choose to Live a "Boring" Life
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Hi friends! today I'm sharing with you my perspective on why I choose to live a boring life ( boring defined by our society and mainstream media). There is a lot of pressure from our society to live our best lives, to go on epic adventures and to always compete with each other, but this is just not the life for me. Coming to terms with this feeling of satisfaction, makes me even more content about my own life than ever before. I hope you enjoy.

Hi everyone! Thank you for sharing your thoughts in the comments. I just want to clarify that I’m incredibly grateful to live in a beautiful place like Maui and for my quiet and simple life here. My day to day is repetitive, but I do not think my life is boring. I am using the word “boring” in the title because this is how society or mainstream media would see my life. I have no desire to live an outwardly interesting or extravagant lifestyle because I find my joys in everyday ordinariness. I just wanted to share my thoughts on this. Thanks for watching :)
I totally agree and love the simple times too.. I sit by the lake alone and watch the water ..and this is when I'm most at peace
Your welcome. Understood. 👍🏾👍🏾
Good for you! Your dog is cute too!
I'm so happy that women like you still exist in the world.
That's really grea!!!
People don't realise that it's a big privilege to just live. Read, cook, paint, walk, just be.
Yeah, especially considering many people live in the middle of civil wars...
@@SF-fb6lv exactly, so if you have the opportunity to enjoy the little things, take it, instead of obsessing over Instagram and TikTok, because so many around the world don’t have that opportunity to just live.
Many people are struggling with work everyday just to be able to lead a normal life. So not everyone has the luxury of living a life like that
@@therealcjc I think my comment went over a lot of peoples’ head. I am not ignoring the fact that not everyone has an opportunity to have a peaceful or relaxing life. I am well aware of that. All I was trying to say was, whatever life you have, be grateful for it.
@@cupcake1065 I get your point and I do agree. I'm just saying that that piece of advice is more applicable for people who are already leading a relatively comfortable life and are simply pursuing desires needlessly. It's surely a sad state of affairs that "just living" in the way that you've described (read, cook, paint, walk) has become a sort of luxury which many people can't afford, isn't it? I take the view that to be able to enjoy life in such a simple manner is something that everyone should be able to do - I'd go so far as to say it is a basic need. But we're all born in circumstances beyond our control. Some of us have it harder than others through no fault of their own. Cest la vie. So for those who lead the hard lives, it's harder to find that silver lining everyday, although everyday should be viewed as a gift; a present.
“A quiet and modest life brings more joy than a pursuit of success bound with constant unrest.” -Albert Einstein
Insightful quote!
coming from one of the most famous person in history, this sounds inadequate
Good bless, good quote, very true
yes indeed longing for that quiet and modest life, but not when you grew up poor and given the responsibility of a breadwinner, i strive to be successful no matter what 🙈😅
She is alreasy successfull look at her sub count and more viewers more money
It's not boring. It's solitude. It's better be alone than to be with toxic people.
So true ❤👍
Amen
a lot of toxic people in disguise
True
You're never more alone than when you're with someone and still feel alone.
As an introvert, this is not boring at all. This is the kind of life that I look forward to. Peaceful. Happy. No hustle, no drama. Just only me, living. Soon.😅
It is not about being introvert. I am extravort but this + some good friends is more than enough
Personnally i'm the opposite of what's described in this video and i don't judge people. Tho i think that what's matters is to at least try, to see what you actually prefer. Because staying home could be perceived as "easier", if somebody never actually tried travelling, going to nightclubs etc i could think that this person might be missing cool stuff and i find it sad. But if that person actually made his choice knowing both sides i find it completely fine.
@@SimFiftyFifty nothing fun about a night club when you got extreme anxiety that loudness can trigger panic attacks that feel like an oncoming heart attack. A lot of people suffer from this kind of shit.
@Chip McGuire Fighting a severe panic attack isn't really an option. Before I even realized I had panic attacks, the first 2-3 times it happened I thought I was having a heart attack. It took multip;e hospital/dr visits to confirm my heart was fine. I know its hard to understand if you've never had it.. and some people experience much milder experiences that lead people to think it's "all mental" when it's literally a flight or fight response in your body and you dont have any control.
@Chip McGuire Trust me, when in that kind of dibilitating position, everyone asks god for help even if they don't believe.

A simple life can be beautiful and rich. Especially for introverts.

Yes
And Hobbits!!
This is not boring, this is how life was meant to be lived. We just get caught up in modern society.
My sentiments exactly! 💯🙌🏽
Modern Society is filled with anxiety. Humans are meant to live this way. I wish I was born before 18th century even though those times were harsh but that was a truly great way for people to live.
@@DDR131 No offense but I hate how people talk nonsense like that. Yes it's a mentally stressfull day and age but unless you were part of the .01%, in the 1700's you'd be working 12-14 hours a day at the least, you'd be scratching for food on a daily, you'd be drunk from dusk till dawn and there was a 50% chance you'd die before the age of 10. If you'd survive that there's another 50% chance you'd die in a gruesome battle fighting for some king to achieve his lust for territory. And if you're a woman you'd probably get raped on a weekly as well. By either your husband or some drunk or both.
the 1700's weren't as how Romeo and Juliet were pictured. Just saying
@@sbspassion You are right. I think humanity was a mistake.
@@DDR131 haha that's a bit harsh. Life's just not all rainbows and sunshine. Not saying that you expect it to be though.
Look at it this way: if everything was fun then fun would be mediocre by definition. So you need to take the bad to be able to appreciate the good. Always look on the bright side bro ☀️
I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone.

When my kids would tell me "It's boring" I would tell them "Boring is good". Your mom isn't on drugs, nobody is cheating on the other, your dad isn't a drunk who beats up on your mother, you got a nice place to live. There are kids out there that live with drama every day, consider yourself BLESSED.
Thats something a lot of People dont understand and will never understand. Boringness is a Luxury. It means everythings is fine and there is nothing to do. No Drama, no Problems, just you and a lot of Spare Time. I prefer a "boring" Life over a stressfull live every Day.
facts
😂😂well said
What a pitty to rase children with this kind of thoughts, you're tellling them to stop complaining because there life is not as horrible as other's or you're telling them to be happy with there life while other child suffer ? Not shure I uenderstand ! 😑
@@alexmerlin061 I believe the person making the comment meant that their kids should acknowledge the fact that they are blessed to not have to face the hardships that many others have to face. if your biggest complaint in life is that you're bored, you have it pretty good compared to a lot of people
Massive difference between a boring life and a simple life ❤
this is a standard of living only for the privileged. Do not fool yourself. It's not a cheap and simple life like they try to say
@@jessicacristina9052 ikr right, this aint even remotely "boring"
yh, I was like how is this a boring life? LOL
@@jessicacristina9052Don't generalize people and stop making people feel bad about themselves for doing what they want.I don't have many money but I live simply like this, especially when I'm at dad's home in the province where there is no crowded population

I retired at 56 years old to live a simpler life. I've lost 35 pounds and I've never been happier.
Wow good for you :) enjoy life! Wishing you the best
@@MalamaLife Thank you. I don't have any kids or own a home. I live life on my own terms while my fellow baby boomers are deep in debt and stressing out. Freedom is priceless. Keep doing your own thing and smile at the haters.
I'm 55 and retired and love being out of the rat-race and the pandemic made this easier because being inside was safer. My room is my sanctuary.
Raising my sons at a young age was beautiful, so now it's my time to relax and be with me.
@@maureengannaway8635 Enjoy life. I'm 20 and scared of many things in life. I hope I can get through it..

You are not living a boring life, you are living a peaceful life
A happy life.😀
only because of YT- try doing this now working at walmart and see how this goes. diposhits want to glorify these assholes with money, but cant see past themselves how much of a failure they really are
it's not a boring life, except for the fact that i can easily slip into your life and make it more colorful. i'm more than just a big dic and a good lookin face. i'm popular in pyongyang
Your life doesn't sound boring to me, it sounds peaceful and drama free.
Exactly. And how is she an introvert making public videos? Lol
@@asadhafeez7713 You don't need to interact with people when you make videos, she's just at home with her camera
Same like a very relaxing peaceful life.😍
@@kathleeen8863 I guess I was confusing "introvert" with "lacking confidence" and/or "shyness". Furthermore, "introvert" is just a word. There are far too many personality types, and humans are far too complicated to be judged by simply classifying them as either introverts or extroverts.
@@asadhafeez7713 because even the introverts need to feel that other people around are somehow are supporting
Yes, I'm an introvert and yes, I have a boring life. I've always disliked drama, always wanted to have peace, calmness and tranquil as much as possible. Social media for me is a real turn off, I'm minimalistic and have have no desire to impress others.
People ask me why I live a “boring / minimalist” life. I believe it’s because I’m happy with the simple things. The day to day makes me happy because less is more in my book.
I couldn't agree more :) thanks for sharing!
So true! ‘Happy with the simple things’ !! ✨
Couldn’t agree more!
Yep. 💙❤️❣️
Me too!
I live with my sister and she is totally opposite than me. She always goes out and thinks that I’m wasting my life inside. But honestly, doing the dishes, lighting a candle, snuggling up and watching my favorite series, or UA-camrs brings me so much joy and peace. ❤️
That sounds like my ideal Friday night 🥰 Boring isn't boring at all actually! Thank you for watching
Sounds like my favorite way to spend an evening
There are two thing going on sometimes
1. Doing impressive things
2. Doing activities that fulfil ones core needs.
I suspect that, for a lot of people, these two things don't intersect often.
@shonnett barker She could very well be. It’s okay to do extravagant things, too. Let’s not turn our noses up at people who do a lot. We all have different desires.
Me too! 😉
The strongest person is the one who’s not afraid to be alone.
I love this. I’m also a homebody and I spend most of my day meditating and doing ordinary “boring” tasks- but I feel so fulfilled after going on a deep journey in my own mind and clearing out the junk in there. Also cleaning some clutter in my house makes me feel so good.. going for walks, eating something, going into nature, grocery shopping at a place with nice fresh produce. All very exciting for me nowadays! Spending time with myself feels a lot more fun. And yes I used to live according to someone else’s expectations, other people’s definitions of a great life. And when they would ask me what I did, I felt I needed an exciting story to tell. But now I’m like I just enjoy my own company in solitude and I love it
Totally understand. I'm a major homebody too. I'm happy just staying home, eating leftovers, reading a good book, watching the occasional skin movie and beating my meat.
The algorithm recommended this to me. I’m not disappointed.
Same
Me too!
same!
Same here. My life must be boring. 😂
Add me to the list...
That is not boring. It is serene. A life that many people dreamed of.
I agree with you! I wish society would stop labeling it as boring and maybe others might enjoy it more
💯💯💯💯
to each their own.... - someone
@@MalamaLife would you be ok with a majority of the population moving to maui to try to enjoy the kind of life you live?
As an introvert I really relate to this. Whenever coworkers ask me “so what are your plans for the weekend?!” I always feel sort of guilty that my plan is to just stay in and relax. But in reality that’s what makes me happy!
Remember: your happiness doesn’t have to make sense to others. Keep doing you! 🤗
@@nancydays1116 😊 thank you!
Same here! I find peace in my own space.
Same
@@mrsrdrgz I’m also the same too. I enjoy being a homebody and meditation and getting lost in my own thoughts.
Being able to enjoy the little things and not rely on having a lot to make you happy is life changing
this is a standard of living only for the privileged. Do not fool yourself. It's not a cheap and simple life like they try to say
@@jessicacristina9052 what is privileged about enjoying small things?
@@maaax573 people who live close to the beach pay super expensive, even more so in a house like hers.
those who work 8 to 12 hours a day don't have time to enjoy these things that you think are simple but are actually expensive.
Normal people work, study, take care of the house, pay bills.
It's not your fault. The media really puts it in people's heads that this is cheap and simple, so you can go after it your whole life and never succeed, spend all your money chasing a simple standard of living and only realize that it's not simple 20 years later when it's gone. is broke
Right... Agreed.

Recently I saw two school kids simply sit on a park bench looking up at the sky and taking it all in. All the while everyone else was running around looking hurried and stressed. They had figured something out that a lot of others had forgotten. A wise man once said, stillness is the language God speaks.
They were probably high🤣

"The meaning of life is just to be alive.
It is so plain, so obvious, and so simple.
And yet everyone rushes around in a great panic, as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves."
Alan Watts
No true. But the world is primed for people to look and be a certain way. Material. In actual fact they are devoid of love and peace. True fact...
that’s because no one wants to die alone.
Humans long to transcend their existence. Therefore, to just be alive is rarely satisfying. You can cultivate satisfaction with practice or you can pursue other forms of transcendence. But the material state of existence is not enough for a spiritual being. That's ultimately the reason we suffer.
@@cris_here yes we die alone and we ARRIVE into this world Alone. No one actually dies together entertwined.???...
@@dvforever this is absolutely true !
Many are depressed because they are looking only for material and psysical pleasure, we are souls in a psysical body and therefore we need to feed our soul with love and meditation and spiritual experiences trough meditation
The psysical reality is a dimension which we wanted to experience but we have to be aware thaz the existence isnt only psysical and that there is much more that the material world
This spoke to my introverted, home body soul on another level! Let's normalize being "boring" and actually living a normal, ordinary life and enjoying the little things instead of being caught up in the hectic, fakeness of today's society
❤❤❤
Most people in the world live boring ordinary lives. People are not all movie stars ECT..
There's a lot to be said for a simple, uncomplicated life - to be close to nature and sharing the joy of life with loved ones.🌸
“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”
- John Lennon

Its a great quote, but I don't think a five year old would have the mental confidence to say the second part.
I don’t think your life is boring at all, in fact, it’s something that I strive for. Calming, simple... but enough 💗
you are too sweet 🥰 I am completely embracing calm and simple lifestyle
I totally agreee
Wow I strive for the same. it's more alive, mindful, and real.
I love to live a meaningful life with awareness and isolation.
I completely agree! Actually, you'll still find a lot of meaningful things living this lifestyle. Also, it's easy to find peace at heart. I used to be a bit ashamed of living this lifestyle. Even someone told me that my life was boring. But now, I'm totally okay with that! I'm enjoying my life hihi~.
Peace of mind is Life. Trust me!
I seriously love a boring life with less people and less possessions around.
yes me too! glad you can relate 😍
Very few people love a life like you. I really admire !

@@MalamaLife the simple life is cool. Look at the disciples they gave up their jobs and for me as a Jew taught to reject Jesus it was a chaolenge for me too. yet I put my life of materialism aside, and asked His forgiveness and friendship, amen.

Wauw, this resonates so much. This is exactly the message and the video I didn't know I needed in a world that keeps feeding me messages of "hurry, hurry, you are missing out". I have a sneaky feeling that this video will somehow be a turning point for me in how I view my own life. No more guilt over preferring a quiet night at home over a busy night out. Thank you so much.
People always tell me I'm the "oldest" 25 year old they have ever met because I enjoy cooking, gardening, and stay away from screen and technology the best that I can. I take it as a compliment.
It is💙🏆
Love the spirit!! A compliment for sure :) I met this guy on a train trip once and after chatting for a few hours only, he was like “you’re really an old soul for your twenty something age, aren’t you?” Haha yess and not trying to cover it up
Just look at technology as a tool, to use to accomplish things and make your life easier. But you've done the right thing by not making it an obsession. My company built much of the technology in Internet 1.0. and never imagined the dysfunction we enabled.
My dream day is about sitting in sofa with a book while it's raining outside. A hot chocolate cup will be on the table. That's it. Some of us looking for peace
Mommy that sounds so lovely 😍
sounds perfect for me!! hehe

Le sigh!
It truly is a blessing.
Being alone is the most precious thing for introvert people. As a introvert myself I used to hear about me,"she's too brave, a woman shouldn't be like that, she have to regret later"etc.
Crowd only give me a headache, that's why I don't talk too much. I don't care what people think about me. Minding my own business makes me happy and I'm really happy, that, I've meet your channel.

Sounds like me exactly. People I know always running and never seem to stop. In my street they are so restless that when I leave they come into my home and go through my things. Take my food and bring their stinky dogs in with them. Good Luck to them poor fools. Nothing goes away its all material out there. One thing is for sure you do leave if you live a life of restlessness. You lose your beautiful looks to. They sure have and their peace and calm too...
100% agree. The kids in America should see this. Social media is destroying the kids today. They are constantly being manipulated.
American kids has exciting life
she is making money from the same social media with her trashy "Iam different" attitude
UA-cam isn’t social media perhaps ? Dumbo. This woman is spoiled to her bones, she doesn’t need to do anything nor justify her existence, she’s just being given everything, she doesn’t need to struggle just to get by. This life of vacation is what everyone would wish to live, but the world doesn’t give a house, food, water and electricity for free. The rest of the world need to justify their existence by working, and that’s all life is made out of for the majority people, and it’s not as if we had a choice.
Flipping beach thinks the world is only under the pressure to be seen as “having a great life”, being famous or making 6 figures per year, she’s completely delusional because she’s been spoiled by her rich parents, she doesn’t know the reality that the rest of the world has to justify their existence by working, they don’t have time to be goofy and decide whenever they feel like waking up, the majority of people can only afford a few days a year living like this, on holidays that is.
She’s not an example, she’s a spoiled brat very dangerous an boasting that everyone should call out for her idleness, she’s even shameless about it and try to justify it how life is so “gentle and easy when you do nothing, a boring life, whatever the others think”. What a fucking joke.
That’s what most people are looking for, but they can’t get it unless they sweat the shit out of their souls and bodies first, she’s got everything for free, it’s just life on easy mode she has, everybody can do it.
She's in America...🙄

Women are boring. It just happens that she has the money, but she cant figure it out how to fill her life. She has tried everything, but so far, nothing has worked.
Women who are boring and dont have the money usually end up with serious mental problems.

I love this quote. Who said it?
Man...it took me 32 years to realize this, and now i feel like Tony Stark (with the Arc Reactor right at the core). I just took away the power from others to make me Happy with their Validation or make me Sad with their rejection.

You seem to live an amazing life. I love a simple, quiet life- appreciating the simple things.
It’s also crazy how a lot of these drama fueled people have made you believe that the way you live is considered “boring”
Boring gets a bad rap. Malami shed some light on boring.

@@julihouser7468 Take both actually.
this.
This so called "BORING LIFE" is my idea of FUN. It makes me happy to not have goals. I like waking up to a world of possibilities. I do what I feel like doing, not what others tell me I have to do. The slow life is for me. I don't particularly enjoy being in a crowd. I'm also an introvert and a homebody, so I can completely relate to your thoughts and feelings.
I love her life ❤️😘🎯
I can relate both of you girls! Because you two describe entirely me☺️☺️
It's definitely not a boring life. It is such a blessing and a privilege to be able to enjoy such a lifestyle. I have been trying to change my lifestyle since 2021, and I believe that I am on the right track. ❤
Not everyone wants to Dream Big, they just want a Peaceful Life, very well said!
Leonardo Da Vinci said “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
I can't argue with him. I see it the same way :)
I was once told by my so called "friend" in middle school that I was boring, and have always kind of been made to feel that I am, compared to others because I too am a homebody who is also introverted, shy, and I deal with anxiety and other health issues. But being around my family all the time, taking things slower, not being the loud outgoing person is truly what makes me feel happy and fulfilled. I wish people wouldn't be so judgmental of how others wish to live their own lives.
Yes! And stop making people feel bad for not wanting to always be out, trying new (big) things, partying, etc.
Wow i relate sooo much to this ! Its nice to know there are other people out there like me.
This is exactly how I’ve been living my life and I must say…it’s so beautiful and peaceful.
The hardest part about being an introvert is being mis-understood. Very early in life, you are made to feel as if your way is wrong. When in fact it's not right or wrong, it's just my way. Biggest misnomer of introvert is that we don't care for others. I think the real problem is we care too much, we take on others feelings and hardships, its draining. And I came to realize others seek us out for that reason which is why they get so upset when we are not available. We like to be alone, but we don't like to be lonely, that's an introvert in a nutshell(meaning connections are just a deeper concept to us than just having a good time).
Yes! thank you for saying this. I have the same perception
Perfect description! This is so me.
thats not being an intovert; thats being a pussy
Wow I can relate 😀❤😍
I couldn't have put it any better. You have summed it up perfectly for me.
Not boring at all. This is the kind of life that brings peace and contentment. This is a soul-fulfilling life
🥰 I agree with you!
I feel that way too 💜
I absolutely agree!!!
As a man I was told by my crush for being silent and boring but deep inside me I have lots of thoughts but couldn't say it to her directly during our conversations. Being Introverted doesn't mean you are boring shy anti-social or quiet. Introverts thinks a lot before saying something. Introverts love spending their time alone, with family, with small group of friends, and with pets, and likes to stare at our beautiful scenery and surroundings. The peacefulness gives us a lot of energy.
Thank you for saying this. I don't talk much when I'm in a group, but have so many thoughts I keep to myself :)
This is very true! Don’t feel down about it. You will find another that understands you better and appreciates those qualities in you.
there is nothing wrong with being shy and having social anxiety also.
Yes I completely agree
Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.
I'm a 65 year old woman who retired recently and do you have such wisdom at such a young age. Thank you for helping me appreciate the quiet life I have and being an introvert I appreciate the Simplicity of it
You beat me to it - I was going to post that it took me until my 50s to realise simple is what I enjoy and actually need to be happy and content. Living simply n the moment.You are lucky to have realised this at a younger age.
@@laurahunt9513 I am grateful to have realized this at age 17. I do get pressured sometimes to be “active” and going to parties and what not, but I appreciate the little things more. Don’t need these external things to keep me happy. Grateful you have realized this as well🖤
We love you susan :)
Its nice to read this.People humbled And being bumble.this is an example of real humanity Not the crap you read om social Media.
Thank you for being kind and displaying empathy.
You are truely human.
I also am an introvert that some people call my life boring but I appreciate little things as well!
This video hits home with me. I’m a introvert and I’m tired of apologizing for it. I have just as much fun at home as I would traveling.
Cheers!
Nothing wrong with that! Everyone is different and people should be allowed to live their life the way that makes them happy. 😊
Bruh!
me too
💯
I so agree with you. I feel like the pressure is to always get more, do more, own more, see more. If your life is not EPIC it is wasted. But I actually think that makes us unhappy. Happiness is being present. It can be having a cup of tea and looking at the water, walking your dog, talking to a friend. Thank you for sharing. Love from Sweden
I love this!!! Sometimes i feel bad for just wanting to stay home because i am called boring or i feel guilty that i am not doing enough, but i feel happy being at home, i am still trying to figure out what to do, but i feel so happy being at peace.
I love seeing Kona & Lily watch You
@@user-p7up8l4k 120 💞
I am struggling with this too.. I feel all the time that I am just wasting my time. How to be satisfied with an ordinary life?
@@Fifibooktalks a couple of years back. I was feeling how you are. But it gets clearer. Now I have my own business am running at home
There is so much toxicity out there now. You are creating your sane corner of the world and that is wonderful.
As a 31 year old dude, i used to live the “wild” lifestyle. Traveling, bars and restaurants 3-4 times a week, ect. One day i woke up and asked myself why. It was like i was addicted to not being bored. Now, i only go out maybe once a week and have learned to be one with my boredom. I even read now, never thought id say that.
have you told your mom yet?
You're not actually at one with your boredom because you are obviously not bored.
Its called growing up, congratulations you've made it
@@rollandjoesephlol
I'm pretty much like this as well. I also deleted my Tik Tok, Twitter and Instagram account.
Never underestimate the beauty of a simple, peaceful life.
❤😊 so true
I have to confess that as an introvert, I love making connections with nature more than people. And I didn’t realize that until I move to New Zealand, this wonderful awesome place. 😊
I had a similar revelation about Hawaii 🥰 ahh I love would to go to NZ one day
I feel the same. Being surrounded by nature and animals is my dream. I will make this dream happen in this lifetime.
Peaceful, uncomplicated, holistic lifestyle. Life is not just pushing the boundaries of adventure and excitement but also moreso ordinary delights. Loved this statement from you in this vid. Thank you.
I'm not sure it's about pushing boundaries some people just enjoy adventure and excitement.
I’m so glad that there are other people like this. So many people in the comment section, assures me that I’ll meet a new group of friends who prefer slow living. A good time can simply mean: sharing a meal with friends, sun bathing, visiting a book store, going on a hike, etc. I often turn down parties or big gatherings. I don’t have the social energy for it, an intimate one on one chat is preferred 🥰
You're definitely not alone 😁
Same
"I’m so glad that there are other people like this",- I thought the same as I was watching the video :)
Also I like your perspective on the topic.
...Today I had some stuff to do at the central part of my city, so there were many chanses to get some really nice pictures, but the only photos I actually took were the ones with beautuful clouds above partly green field with small path in the suburbs.
The rest of amazing views of the day I chose just to enjoy at the moment :)
(Maybe later I'll return for them to get some pictures too, maybe not)
Sounds like my sort of energy 🧐
Spend the morning cleaning a room - because the outside and inside reflect each other's state... Fresh sheets... New pair of PJ's... A good book
Done
I don’t even have that many friends. I don’t have any social media besides UA-cam and I love simple activities like reading a good book and spending time outdoors. Even playing with my cat or spending time with my mom just makes me happy. I don’t meet lot of people that find adventure in little activities but I do. I hope to someday travel and see more of the world because i truly believe exploring gives me purpose. Anyway, you all seem like lovely people 💗
I love calling myself a "mild child". My life might seem boring to others, but I love my inner world! It's enough to entertain me.
Love that you totally embrace it ❤ I feel this exact way
Intelligent people think and are like you. You sound very blessed.
I love how you called it an inner world. That's exactly what it feels like
This screams introvert and proud and I'm living for it. I can say that I'm the same. I live in one of the most desired cities in the world, but most days I just want to stay home and do what makes me happy.
Yes!! I love that you can relate to me ❤️
oh i'm glad for you! where do you live?
Wow I really needed to see this video. Thank you ❤ extremely relatable. I’m always judged for enjoying the “boring life” or feeling the pressure.
I’ve always been told I’m depressed by having this mentality. This video made me realise I’m not and was very helpful, thanks!
Omg who sayd that ? has no Idea of Depression...
I consider us the Happiest people alive. A simple and peaceful life is a blessed life! The ones that would say that, are usually the ones who live for this world and what society thinks. But not for their own souls
Same for me. At times I thought I was depressed as well because I'm so happy by myself and I enjoy doing the little things at home.
Society tries to label people who don't fit the "American lifestyle"(Sleep, Work, Eat, Die). I've been told I'm depressed and crazy because I don't want lots of possessions or money, and I want to take life slow as this video suggests.
Same, my friends and family always thought I was depressed for staying at home all the time but it's completely the opposite. I've been depressed before and it was completely different than enjoying a quiet life and hobbies rather than going out.
Anyone else in their early 20s, introvert and a proud homebody 🙋🏾♀️
These days I just want to stay home and take things slow
❤️
Use to be like that. Early 20's 20 years ago and homebody. Best moments...
I’m 19 and I’m like this, I absolutely love it! 😁🤍
Better to live in peaceful life rather than surrounded by suckers so-called friends
YES!! 100% true
Amen!🙌
👏👏👏
Hi. Friends should be called the devil. That is for sure...
I agree with your premise. I used to feel I had to do this or that and go here or there. Now, I truly appreciate being able to relax and stay home, eat a good meal with loved ones and enjoy each others company. I like being me and doing what I want to do and not what others think or say I should do. Keep up the good work!
I chose this life for most of my 74 years. It’s a decision I’ve never regretted. Kudos to you.

Many say I am a boring person, and yes I am. I don't play games, don't watch movies and other things many young people today do. But I love to find happiness and peace in smallest of things every day🥰 God bless 🤗🤗🤗
same with me! just don't conform to what the world says! God has a plan for us and that plan mostly goes against the mainstream. God be with you
@@benjaminschauffele7901 I totally agree
I always found people who play games and watch movies boring.
Boring is a delusion, it is all in your mind.
This is not a boring life. Its peaceful
That's how I see it as well :) thanks for watching
Yesss this is heaven 😭💕
This is not a new concept. But every now and then you come across something that you just connect with.
This is one of them.
Excellent job sweetheart. And thank you. ❤
No, your life isn't boring, that's interesting, simple, calme, you can focus yourself, that's amazing and That's energy life.
Thanks Tiana :) others might see it as un-eventful, but I'm content with the simple and calm life! thanks for watching.
I live an ordinary life in the suburbs. I wake up, I work out, I play games, I read, I go to work. That's my simple life. Kudos to you.
You're a lucky man, my friend.
I can go days without leaving the house. My family thought it was unhealthy and have tried to get me out of the house, which is annoying. I don't like to frivolously go outside. I only go outside when there is something I want or need to do.
Hey my father was the same. And I am freedoms daughter free I love ME my company to. I clean cook and shop for natural foods.
Hi forgot to say I have hobbies too. Art gardening and sewing. I like ytube and a littlest Tv as well. A glorious Life. Thanky...
Same. Although I count my own big yard as 'the house' so I do go outside and still call it 'the house.' There were a lot of people around me for a long time who made me feel like something was wrong with me, but they've either moved on or accepted it. I work four days a week and sometimes when I go back to work, the sound of my own voice is like a little shock to me because sometimes I don't hear it for days at a time.
Omg I feel you have spans where I don't leave my house for months at a time. My family is kinda on my case about it too. It's like I don't have a lot of money everything costs more than I have why do I need to leave the house. Everything I do is at home why do I need to leave. MY origin of this life wasn't a great one it was actually a near death experince that I am still trying to recover from but I may not ever fully. It happened ten years ago medical issues that came out of nowhere and the doctors only made it worse. I look normal to people like nothing ever happened but I have some internal issues that still throw me for a loop. I have taken up yoga and hopefully that helps me with some things. but as I get older I really don't like the idea of being out much. ten years ago was different but part of what has changed is most of my friends have families or relationships or careers of their own so they don't have the time to do whatever plus I don't drive anymore thanks to said medical issues. So it makes seeing people harder. I think I've made the best out of things I play guitar I exercise I clean my relatives I live with clean home and other projects I can do I help cook It's not worthy of the gram or whatever but it works. I so hate social media sure I do some of it but not facebook the gram or tick tok I just think all that stuff is just people pining for attention or to ramble about whatever. I prefer connections with people and not just hey look at this thing I did. I really am a simple girl I enjoy good tv shows a good conversation good food music sure I like cute clothes and stuff but I never leave the house to wear them. Also makeup is expensive and as a transwoman whose family isn't 100% on board with it I can't really wear it so it's kinda whatever. I will leave the house sometimes but usually just to see friends when I can or some family but the pandemic put a lid on that. It's fine though. I am glad I am not alone in this.
This is me 1000x percent. I literally dont need to go outside for any reason except to throw away the garbage.
OMG…. I have been feeling exactly what you said for some time, but could not verbalize it or meditate on it with clarity or acceptance. I went for my usual “boring” (not boring to me!) evening walk this evening. Praying about it, looking for direction, and then I came home and found your video. You are so right. I love this. Thank you 🙏.
You just made me realize that I'm only forcing myself to do "big" and "grand" things, only for the sake of meeting conversation requirements with almost everyone around me. It is so tiring. If I were living in the countryside, I doubt I would have to worry about such things.
you don't need to live in the countryside to experience a simple life my guy. Just live your best life now, ok. God bless you
@@anulinwume688 😭💖🙏 you too, friend!
I agree with the comment below, you dont have to live in the countryside to live a beautiful, ordinary life. I live in New York, the overhyped city, but I find enjoyment in the smallest pleasures in my daily life, such as making coffee, making breakfast, going for a walk in the park across from me. Life is so beautiful, we just have to find the beauty in it
You do not need other peoples validation. Do what makes you truly happy..
@@DoodleToast-c4o "to do "big" and "grand" things, only for the sake of meeting conversation requirements with almost everyone around me."
^ That is actually an interesting insight. Makes me wonder, am I going to these trips and conventions because I want to or so I can go so I have something to talk about with someone else?
This title alone resonates with my CURRENT state of mind. I love that you are so confident in your solitude.
Hello miss ruby can i talk to you as it would be so nice. you are like minded to me.
its called being an introvert
As a fiction writer, solitude is the oxygen that feeds the flame of my inspiration. As an introvert, I simply feel best (happiest) wading in the oasis of my solitude, an aloneness that does not translate to loneliness, not at all.
@@writerforlifeify I like your comments. We are alike in ways. I am an extrovert, though, but I love my alone time!
I'm 37 and a lesson I learned long ago is to find value in the things you love and you'll never need look elsewhere
As an introvert, I’m the same and I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said. Thank you for sharing! 💛
Only people who aren't comfortable being alone and need other people to validate them would call "simple" people boring.
Happiness from the simple things makes for a happy person.
Thanks for this. I find this to be very true 👍
This is the exact opposite of what the world is telling us right now. It’s so refreshing and true!
I am 74 and have only experienced the truth of this in the last couple of decades. Your life is an expression of deep wisdom, rare in our world, particularly in someone so young. Thank you for the lovely reminder of what is truly important!
I think you are in the right path. Society tries to make us well-programmed productive robots but what we end up with is a hectic life full of misery and regret.
I'm a homebody too and live a boring life. I love it. I have plenty of hobbies, I enjoy cooking and baking and being outside. Not interested in impressing anyone or living my life on social media. You go girl.
People think they're looking for happiness, but what we really need is fulfillment.
And fulfillment only comes from within, not externally.
When I wake up ini the morning 🌅, I always said, "This is the day the Lord has made. Let we rejoice and be glad in it." Thanks God for your kind.
thank you for sharing!
Let us rejoice :)
Amen. Just BE
Last week my tv broke down. I directly went looking for a new one. But the 1st night without i noticed the peacefull feeling. Reading a book. Staring at the birds outside. So relaxed. I'll save some money and won't buy a new one.
I don’t think living a simple, peaceful and balanced life is boring. It is something that many strive for in fact. Loved this video❤️
I wouldn't trade this life for a fun and exciting one 🥰 thanks for watching Weronika
How freaking cool is it that if you really want to make it happen, you can live wherever you want. For Americans, we have it even better due to the geographical diversity and huge landmass that provides different climates. We could really have an endless summer in Maui, or all four seasons in the Midwest. The big city life in New York, or a farm in Idaho. Damn...
Yes!! So grateful to have the option. Life is so diverse and beautiful. Thanks Damon 😊❤ watching all your videos from Maui!
Would like to be there. Thanks for sharing. Bless you!
I've always felt envious of Americans for this!! I live in Australia... in Perth even. The most secluded city in the world, right? All the more reason to enjoy the little magical moments in my boring life I guess 😊
Sure, but on the other hand you could end up stuck in Los Angeles :-/
Until the supervolcano beneath Yellowstone Park starts to roar. Face it, no matter where you go, there is no peace to be found. It's a concept that we made up and currently use in order to comfort ourselves for whenever things gets tough. Albeit the melancholy truth is that the planet isn't peaceful, it's agathokakological, meaning that it's composed of both evils (which ultimately creates the balance of our world). But, as I said, it isn't peaceful, at least not per se (unless you perceive it as such); Life's rough, and the more that we chase after happiness, the farther away it gets. Y'see, if you need a reason to be happy, then you can't be. It's only those that lives by the concept of stoicism, that can truly be so. In other words, Malama is about as fake as the rest of the UA-camrs that proclaims that "they've discovered Nirvana", and that "this is how you can do it too". Just take a look at some of the video titles, oh, and why not add an instagram account into the lux mix now that we're at it? I mean after all it's important to know what she has to say/show that billions of people before her clearly hasn't said n' done, right?... Look, I get it, we're all fake. Not just her. When push comes to shove, we're all egoistic hypocrites. And I get why, because that's how our society "works". We've been led to believe that paper dictates whether we should live a good life or not, and so we pursue it, only to find that it didn't make all that much of a difference anyhow. We constantly attempt to fill the void with materialistic "goods"... Alas, to no avail. Teh, not to mention that people world-wide are afraid of dying, despite of not even realizing that they have died on repeat for more than 12 million years, but that's for another time. Oh, right, time, yet another fictional concept that we came up with. Oh' how good it feels to live in a cluttered dream world.
This doesn't sound boring to me. It sounds peaceful.
Healing, even
Right. That kind of life most people dream of.
I know, to me a good life means not going out but because you want to breathe some air from time to time (I go out for no reason once every 2 or 3 months) and weekly if groceries are required. Study, learn, chill out and exercise at home.
For some people this is boring because I don't go to a park, cinema, commercial centers. For me I've got all at home.
Other people like to go to parties right now with the situation that's difficult for them, not being able to socialize in person.
I know some people like to have a drink or other out of home activities and that's OK for them but I panic at the idea of going into an adventure when I can just be comfortable at home. The only adventures I want are those in novels, video games and whatever project I've got at work.
I know I won't get a girlfriend or a wife that way but I'm happy nonetheless.
The main problem is not having the possibility of living the boring life by choice. Because most people can't choose if they want to live a crazy life or a boring one. They just live what was given to them.
Yes. this is a standard of living only for the privileged. Do not fool yourself. It's not a cheap and simple life like they try to say
Privilege is just a politically correct term that people use as an excuse to blame and not take accountability ❤
@@sophiependragon2467 So you are basically saying there is no difference between a person born in a 1st world country and who was given good upbringing and good education and a person born in complete poverty who has to find food in a garbage to survive ? Everybody has a different starting point in life. Some people are born millionaires and some are barely surviving. That is the meaning of "privilege" . Privilege is your starting point in life ...
@@jessicacristina9052 I don't have many materials,and I live a boring simply amazing life with my old parents,stop generalizing people
With the latest fashion on productivity and hustle culture, we are judged for being boring but I think the reason for that is the unhappiness and feeling of not enoughness in those humans, so I dont care what they think and just hope that they can find satisfaction in themselves, too
I agree completely! 🥰 such an important message
