Haha, I love the ending. And the wink to the "thinking about the ancient Roman empire" meme, even if it was ancient Greek empire here.
I was TERRIFIED of this boredom and saw that in all the stories people just suddenly found themselves there, 40 with two kids and a boring job, like they had been Sleeping Beauty and suddenly woke up.
I was so terrified of it that I have thought about it literally every day since I was a teenager. Every decision I make about my life is held up to scrutiny.
I am happy to report that my life is great and not boring at all, but it could have gone another way. People make decisions towards stability and predictability for a reason.
I got married, had kids, had a house in the suburbs while they were little, and nothing about any of that was boring. Work was boring. Some of the other adult responsibilities were boring. But the wife and kids in the house and the dog were easily the best years of my life. But I guess it makes it better story if it’s boring.
I always think if I manage to get myself a "boring" life I'll feel very accomplished and fortunate. Stability? Financial security? Sign me up. I do need my work to feel meaningful though.

I liked this one. The anticlimax is always fun.
LOL stop reading my diary!

Love the exclamation marks!
That ending made me laugh! But it's also very wise.
If you're bored, do something.
This is hilarious
