Strikes me like something of an advocacy for boredom! Is it possible to be joyful without the necessity (benefit?) of being bored beforehand?

Good question! Maybe that's the default, when you're already excited to do something. But even when that default fades for a while, you can still make your own joy.

Good points and story, but for the book I think it's meandering a bit too much. You mix different perspectives and stories into one point you want to make here, but maybe it's just me and my mind before the morning coffee😅

Noted, thank you guys! Seems there's a theme of me sometimes trying to cram too many ideas into a short piece. I used to do this in longer essays and it worked well there, but it needs to be the right number of images for the length. Helpful!!
