Lately I’ve been thinking about why I get bored so fast when life feels too predictable. I’ve got this stable job, a set routine, even weekends are mapped out. But sometimes I catch myself doing random things just for the thrill — like buying scratch-off tickets or taking last-minute trips. It’s not really about money, more like chasing that “what if” feeling. Do you ever feel like unpredictability makes things more exciting, even if it doesn’t lead anywhere big?

Sometimes the best part of the day is when something unexpected happens, even if it’s really small — like running into an old friend, finding a new song you instantly love, or stumbling on a street performance.

I think the key is finding ways to let that unpredictability in without letting it run your life, like trying new hobbies or traveling somewhere unplanned.
