I think life feels more real when you’re the vehicle, not the driver. And I say this as someone who’s spent so much time trying to control everything, scheduling every hour, chasing productivity like it’s the only thing that matters. But I’m starting to realize that boredom isn’t something to run from. It’s where curiosity and creativity actually have room to breathe.

When every moment is planned, you get a lot done, sure but at what cost? Lately, I’ve been wondering if all the greats understood something I didn’t. They didn’t just stay busy; they made space for stillness. Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” I think I’m finally starting to get what he meant.

“Once you learn to trust your curiosity, you are no longer the driver but the vehicle.”
