Ironic or not, we are curious that's fact. And consequently more or less slaves of technology, honestly said. And yes, we have our own boredom, but some produce art with that.
There is such a fine line between boredom and rotting which I feel is not spoken about enough. Finding yourself bored and lifting yourself out is incredibly difficult when there are so many things to distract our minds elsewhere primarily online and lounging about, which I feel is why people do not stand still for fear of 'rotting' Life, if nothing else is so paradoxical :-)
YES this is so true, some moments will be ruff and some will be more ease. But the creative mind will create. And even the ruff times can give inspiration and answers in the end. I also got so bored that I made some chores... just from feeling so restless hahaha.
btw this was so relatable, im so afraid of losing my creative time because of social media and the internet but i think because we are so surrounded by it its so hard to get away sometimes
I share your anxiety about the deleterious effects of heavy social media/computer use. I have a sneaking suspicion that it has made it harder for me to read and pay attention to a book I'm reading. I still manage to read a couple books per month, but I'm a slow reader and I can't even read without stopping to look at my phone periodically. I wish I wasn't this way, but oh well.
James Joyce had a fart fetish is the fun fact I didn't know that I needed, thank you. I'm looking forward to an opportunity to pass this info on to an unsuspecting victim, over dinner or in an awkward silence or something. And my god, could someone who cared about him not have edited the contents a bit before publishing or just... not published them!
I love your style of living such a vintage house, arts frames, clothes, hair style like you are out of an old film. You have this vision of old authors.❤ You are an old soul.
I have been going through the same journey of being bored, deleted most of social media from my phone because I, too, don’t know balance. This video is really making me go deeper with my parasocial relationship with you, Dakota.
Never clicked so fast when I saw the title. I am an introvert and there is a big difference between being bored and enjoying your own company. I embrace what other people may think is boring. I have the same picture you have shown on the table of a woman. I have a big portrait.
Dakota's video reminds me of Marcel Proust's beautiful novel "In search of lost time". In it he suddenly remembers his childhood and past life, and rumenates on his loves and experiences of beauty in many forms. It's definitely a book to help combat this modern age, to help with what is important, and to help to slow down and notice beauty all around you.
I've lived in southeast Alaska most of my life and each winter is tough and I never really get used to the cold and darkness but it makes the spring and summer that much sweeter. Love your work.
Ugh thank you! I think about the sharing of the dead’s journals all the time. I believe Kurt Cobain’s literally said something like “don’t read this” and then of course all the others, my heart always feels a pang when I see a published journal.
This is my first time watching your videos, and dare I say it's my favorite i've seen all week :) I absolutely LOVE the chill talking vibes, and just random thoughts. PLEASEEEE I beg you do more of these!! (ofc If you want!) Also side note, your laugh is adorable!! And ur so pretty :D
I find your top five brilliant moments of history so relatable ( if I had a time machine I either go back to chat with Oscar or to prevent the burn out of Alexandria's library)
Hey Dakota. So I was wondering, as you have said that finishing a journal is one of your greatest pleasures, what is the redeeming quality which makes keeping your writing worth it? I have written so much and enjoy it as well, but I find that throwing a journal out and finishing one to leave it sitting in a closet is more or less the same thing. I have written about worldly issues, personal anecdotes, and more. Still, most of the time retrospect makes said pieces feel moot. What is it that preserves the value of your work for you? Aesthetic, archiving, intention, authenticity? Much love from NYC (if that is even worth brandishing anymore 😂)
Now mix this with the realization that each of us are immortals, eternals, gods/goddesses, infinites. To be aware of being limited and put to a point of gentleness is a very humbling way. To me this allows us to be more open to love, gratitude, forgiveness, and simply enjoying the little things that then become big within those moments. What a beautiful medium (:
This came out just as I'm trying to cut down my tiktok usage and it feels so refreshing to hear someone else express what I feel. Thank you for reminding me of the beauty in the mundane
As someone who is bored I ended up picking the hobby crocheting, and lemme tell u it keeps me in my happy place all day long because of the beautiful and unique projects you can make in the end
Dear Lady Dakota, you always brought me comfort, since the first video watched. I catch myself thinking about your poetry very often. I feel like I have a friend in you. This video is really important for me, as I'm trying to live more in the present moment and enjoy more time by myself. Thank you for always being by my side. Sending much love
I also struggle so much with balance, I’m all in or not at all, I think I was sent here as a libra this lifetime to learn balance! 😂 it isn’t going well 😬😂
Thanks for sharing a few lines of your novel at the end of the video. And also for sharing your most personal thoughts. 🖤🥀 love this video. So glad I found your channel.
This was so real!! And I can relate so much… I’m currently trying a detox from tiktok because I’ve realized how the immense consum has altered my brain… idk!
I'm hoarding your videos as the precious treasures they are to brighten my spirits in dark days to come but I also want to offer support now for the algorithim!
tfff who would write something like that ,i literally died from laughing (that made me feel like im having a conversation with u just the way u imagined)
ahhh omg I love you! I just spent half an hour glued to the screen just listening to you??!! when you started talking about sunny days and spring I remembered a poem by Alberto Caeiro, one of Pessoa's heteronyms " When spring comes". I love that poem with my whole heart and soul I would love if anyone read it and tell me what you think
book reccomendation: the list of suspicious things by Jennie Godfrey. just finished it and its great! very interesting and made me cry sm at the end. love this video x
You can be in boredom only when you don't have any interest in, nor attention to anything else other than doing nothing. Hence, there is not any sort of art in such a state of mind, while it requires imagination and creativity. Boredom can happen when you are saturated with too much of something, which paralyses or numbs your senses. Inspiration is like consuming food, in which you want to eat only when you feel hungry. But after having got a big meal, you will no longer want to eat anything. Therefore, keeping other activities in your life than reading books and writing can give you an inspirational thirst for writing. When there are too much of reading and writing in your daily life, that's when your inspirational thirst no longer exists.
This is my 6th English Winter and I'm still not completely used to it. I'm still not used to the Summer humidity either. I'll forever be that annoying Australian girl who yaps about the weather
On the holidays between college semesters I follow through my boredom enhancing project which always fails…cause I found out…drinking water is so so poetic…and oh don’t let me start with the powerful ability to breathe and the way plants grow… Even when I choose boredom the painful one I find out living is so interesting am I unable to be bored? Is it just me ?
Forget boredom but look up some Asian takes on life, meditation and mindfullness just to name two. It can be a slippery slope getting it wrong from the get go. Deviating from the norm (normal) is ok if you can make it work. Often times when I watch these kind of video's can't help but think there is more the matter than meets the eye.
isn't it a bit ironic that I picked up my phone to watch this instead of reading a book haha
is it ironic that im reading the comments while watching this
same i should be studying for a lit test jdjs
Watching Dakota is the same as reading a book for me 🙌🏻
Same

Between boredom and rotting 😂😂😂😂 that cracked me up, you’re so right!
I encourage anyone to sit through the discomfort of boredom; you'd be surprised what your brain comes up with, especially if you are an artist.
no, thanks. i get extremely anxious. atte: an artist.
@@javiercaviles Yeah, it's uncomfortable. I have learned from therapy that giving into anxious feelings only reinforces it.
@@javiercaviles but its necessary
@javiercaviles You need to chill and relax. I use to have anxiety.
YES this is so true, some moments will be ruff and some will be more ease. But the creative mind will create. And even the ruff times can give inspiration and answers in the end.
I also got so bored that I made some chores... just from feeling so restless hahaha.
boredom is been something i’ve been obsessed with recently but it’s so hard to just let yourself be
i thought i had erased joyce’s letters from my mind, my brain was nearly pure 😭
that is the most poetic way to talk about farts for sure
btw this was so relatable, im so afraid of losing my creative time because of social media and the internet but i think because we are so surrounded by it its so hard to get away sometimes
Your profile picture oh my God I love you
resisting the moment creates boredom, embracing the moment creates peace.
perhaps it's not an algorithm styled video, but those of us who stayed to "be bored" with you have truly enjoyed it :)

I find it helps me to put my phone in a drawer or the other room, maybe that helps you too?
I’m exactly the same, I have to leave my I pad downstairs when I go to bed

your home looks so cozy!
LOVED the top five moments of history. iconic hahahah
I've lived in southeast Alaska most of my life and each winter is tough and I never really get used to the cold and darkness but it makes the spring and summer that much sweeter. Love your work.
I personally loved this format of a video!
The existence of Oscar Wilde's genius is my roman empire
i completely agree. since my 8th birthday i’ve claimed that oscar wilde was my spirit animal
Dakota, I would love a video of your journaling ideas and prompts! ❤
OH MY GOD THE QUOTES YOU READ OUT AT THE END WERE BRILLIANT!! BUZZING FOR YOUR BOOK XX
Ugh thank you! I think about the sharing of the dead’s journals all the time. I believe Kurt Cobain’s literally said something like “don’t read this” and then of course all the others, my heart always feels a pang when I see a published journal.

This was such a beautiful video. You nailed the slow feel with filming and editing. Enjoyed

Dear Lady Dakota, you always brought me comfort, since the first video watched. I catch myself thinking about your poetry very often. I feel like I have a friend in you. This video is really important for me, as I'm trying to live more in the present moment and enjoy more time by myself. Thank you for always being by my side. Sending much love
Such a beautiful video, I could listen to you just talk about life for hours

Thanks for sharing a few lines of your novel at the end of the video. And also for sharing your most personal thoughts. 🖤🥀 love this video. So glad I found your channel.
I remember it by thinking, "I would be embarrassed to forget the second 'r.'" Or just two Rs, two Ss.
I still mess it up regularly.
i wish i could have a conversation with you, just from how you speak - i feel like it would be one of the nicest conversations in my life
You’re home looks so cozy and beautiful 🫶🏻💛🫶🏻❤❤🩷🩷
i feel so blessed my mom didn't allow me to have facebook! totally get you there
This was so real!! And I can relate so much… I’m currently trying a detox from tiktok because I’ve realized how the immense consum has altered my brain… idk!
oh god dakota, you cannot imagine how excited I am for your novel to come out
Ugh I love your videos! Please keep up the amazing work! 💗
I would love some boredom. I hardly have time to sleep nowadays 😢
I always wonder how Dakota's cats are doing because I haven't seen them for months. Upon hearing a meow in this video I can finally rest easy !!
I'm hoarding your videos as the precious treasures they are to brighten my spirits in dark days to come but I also want to offer support now for the algorithim!

this is such a good watch 💖
Agh I have this thought so often I don't want to read Plath's journals for that exact reason. If anyone reads mine they will have to die lol
This is my 6th English Winter and I'm still not completely used to it. I'm still not used to the Summer humidity either. I'll forever be that annoying Australian girl who yaps about the weather
Boredom is the desire for desires after all
dakota: am i getting sick?
also dakota: spent half of the video on underwear
I have depression and I do this every day.
i loveeee your bedsheets !!!!!! so beautiful where did you get them!!
such a well crafted video, good job
On the holidays between college semesters I follow through my boredom enhancing project which always fails…cause I found out…drinking water is so so poetic…and oh don’t let me start with the powerful ability to breathe and the way plants grow…

Has anyone found the Choosing Keeping notebook Dakota has? I love it so much 😭
Be Dakota Warren!
Forget boredom but look up some Asian takes on life, meditation and mindfullness just to name two.
It can be a slippery slope getting it wrong from the get go.
Deviating from the norm (normal) is ok if you can make it work.
Often times when I watch these kind of video's can't help but think there is more the matter than meets the eye.
does anyone know which camera she used? ❤️
idk why but you remind me of a character from the secret history, Camilia
if you're comfortable sharing, where did you move from?
