Actually, sometimes life is just plain boring. The thing about recovery is that you tend to think it comes with all sorts of glittery excitement. Which is certainly true in a lot of respects- it defiantly offers opportunity. But one think I'm finding a hard lesson to learn is that actually, life IS just mundane and boring and same old sometimes. But that's ok. It doesn't mean I'M boring, or rubbish. Just that life just chugs along doing nothing in particular sometimes. I get so caught up in not feeling I'm interesting enough, or that I don't do all the things over people do with their weekends and spare time. I got so busy comparing myself to all this that I forgot that everyone has tones where really, nothing is going on at all. That other people get bored or fed up, and sit and watch telly in the eve without feeling ' boring'.
So this weekend I am going to do nothing. Like really nothing. I'm not feeling very well so I'm gonna to spend weekend on sofa with a hot water bottle, some DVDs and a book or 2. And I'm going to be ok with not having been anywhere or done anything noteworthy. Because trying to define myself by " doing interesting things " is not far off from trying to define myself by my weight. And h am defiantly more than that.

My dad once said that life is dull, its flat, but that's how it should be. It should be boring so that you look forward to meeting up with friends- he mentioned of course his MG's. Best advice he ever gave me! and I don't think he ever realised it!
p.s I haven't been out for ages revision is my life!
This has made me smile a lot :) Hope the weekend of doing nothing has been a good one!
