Similar to how you described how you fill your boredom, I've come to a realization that boredom can indeed be beautiful. In times of boredom is when you can self reflect, and often it is when I'm bored that I will feel the drive to write as you do or get a creative inspiration. I think in the modern world with access to constant stimulation, we lack this essential time of boredom, where we kind of just let our mind wonder. We try and fill the void of boredom with mindless consumption of media or what have you, when sometimes it is important to just sit in our boredom and be mindfully bored if you will. It's not always pretty thoughts that arise when we begin to contemplate life when bored, but I've come to understand that it is important to acknowledge and accept all thoughts whether they be positive or negative.
