on this episode of live a little, nikki lilly is asking herself a surprisingly uncomfortable question: when did i become so bad at being bored?

from waiting for the kettle to boil to brushing her teeth, nikki fills almost every quiet moment with something: a podcast, tiktok, instagram, anything to avoid the silence. but she’s starting to wonder whether, by constantly consuming everyone else’s thoughts, is she leaving herself any space to have her own?

nikki opens up about why silence has always felt uncomfortable for her, the pressure to have an opinion on everything and what happens when we look at everyone else’s reactions before allowing ourselves to form our own. she also shares the small ways she’s learning to reclaim quiet.

but maybe boredom isn’t something we need to escape. maybe it’s where our thoughts finally have room to arrive.

if you’ve ever filled every silence, lost yourself in other people’s opinions, or wondered where your own thoughts went, this one’s for you.
