I'm not sure if a 'Boring Life' is for me. But I am sure I need some seasons of my life to be boring.

Since I was 20 I've grinded away at my career, side hustles, etc... It made me happy. But at a certain point I got far enough ahead I felt complete. I needed a boring phase.

I now wake up, have breakfast with my family, go to work, come home, play with my kids, watch a show, and go to bed. This is a day I would have scoffed at 10 years ago. But it now makes me happy. I don't think it would make me happy if I hadn't went for something the last 15.

And it might not make me happy forever, but it's perfect for me right now.

With you.

I spent my 20s and most of 30s career focused. Now 43 with two kids and in a spot where I can pick what I want to some degree. I can’t imagine the life I have now during my 20s. Maybe it would have been great.

But I’m glad life wasn’t “boring” when I had time freedom.
