Stick to the comfort zone - a contrarian message, but not for the sake of being contrarian

 

To those who dream up trauma, dramatize the uneventful, and constantly feel the urge to sensationalize their ordinary, listless lives 

- please don't.

Boring is awesome. 

Boring is wholesome.

Boring is a relief,

In ways, you won't believe.

The world is full of unexplored pain and unimaginable, untold grief - if you manage to get by without ever having to experience it even once, count that as an enormous blessing, and move on. 

Your unfamiliarity with the dark side of the human experience isn't something to be upset about. 

You didn't miss a fortune, you dodged a bullet. Don't complain about averted disasters. It isn't deprivation, it's mercy. 

And don't go chanting on about self-observed growth. There are dark corners and crooked alleys that many don't come back alive. Pray that you don't ever have to see one.
