Dear Queenie,
Every day I wake up and I just know it’s going to be another boring day. I’m so sick of everything – the things I do, the people I see, my job, my house, it’s all same old same old. This is such a small island, there’s nothing new or interesting any more.
Queenie, is this normal? And what can I do about it?—Bored to death
Dear Bored to death,
It’s normal to feel that way now and then. But small as this island is, you can’t possibly know everyone who lives here.
Try to get involved in some new activities, preferably ones where you will meet some new people. Go to the library, find some new books to read, do some research about the various non-profit organisations on the island, find some new interest. Take a course, or more than one, at University of St. Martin.
Join a service club, volunteer at the hospital or for some other worthy cause. The best way to get over being bored is to think less about yourself and more about other people.
