How dull is your life?


 

I believe not many people realize (or think) that their life is dull when they don't compare their life with others'. 

Around 20 years ago, my life was just like Louisa's, my daily ritual was just going to work then going home. My entertainment was just writing for blog. Once a week, I went swimming. Social medias were not as massive as they are now. And internet access was still very expensive. So, don't ask whether I spent some time in my daily activities watching youtube: too expensive! lol. Well, once in a blue moon I went to DVD rentals to rent some DVDs. Not bad, huh? However, as what Louisa said to Will, "I love my life. I never consider my life boring." And luckily, I never compare my life with others'.

My life has been no longer that dull these past a few years although of course it is not as interesting as in Will's mind, when he and Louisa were talking in this movie cut whose link I inserted above. 

Comparing my life with one good friend of mine, though, I am of opinion that my life is more colorful than her life because I have some hobbies: biking, swimming, and sometimes traveling. This good friend of mine did not have hobby except reading, while in fact, her daily routines in her job involve reading a lot., Moreover, she didn't like exercising. This became one big culprit why she suffered from depression after going back from the US where she pursued her PhD.

I still cannot move on from ME BEFORE YOU, lol.
