Thank God for WritersCafe, or this would be me! While we're thanking God, let me also thank him for giving me a creative mind. I would be drowning in boredom if I didn't have my writing!
You were right, it definitely relates to our conversation. LOL
It's great!

i watched my dad become trapped in his own world, watched him trapped in his own memories and then even lose those...and then finally himself---he was almost 98 when he passed...and just the shell of what he once was....but i still saw that strength deep within...the strength that had taken care of a family for so so many years...I know that time will be coming for me...and not that long till it advances.

According to Wikipedia - There is no universally accepted definition of boredom. But whatever it is, researchers argue, it is not simply another name for depression or apathy. It seems to be a specific mental state that people find unpleasant—a lack of stimulation that leaves them craving relief, with a host of behavioural, medical and social consequences. - But I like your interpretation better… :-)

Thanks! It comes from experience. Glad you enjoyed it.
I can agree with every line being I've been there and not by choice. Emergency room visits that last hours are just one aspect of life that is unavoidable.

I haven't suffered from boredom for sometime. Maybe because once you reach a certain age, time starts becoming very precious, especially when you see it slipping away. I can certainly relate to your lines when I was younger though. Enjoyed the way you approached this.
