My firts note on Italki, or Searching for exciting So this is my first note on Italki. Despite the fact I registered here in 2016, only few days ago I finally got round to start using this network. So I’m absolutely new to it and now I decided to make my first post on the blog.

I started to write it and I realized that I had virtually nothing to tell about: nowadays my lifestyle is quite monotonous, like studying, coming home, reading books, listening to music, some other stuff and again. So I began to look for a subject that would be interesting to discuss and I found literally nothing, and I remembered those people who always manage writing exciting texts and talking about probably the most ordinary and boring things as if they were extremely fascinating. They can describe it in such enthralling ways so they often turn out to be really talented writers or other people whose performance becomes related to art. And that’s because they really can find something interesting in those things.

So I came to a conclusion that it’s not things around us that make sense but our perspective and relationship to them. That’s what imagination and fantasy are based on, that’s what thinking flexibility greatly relies on. And I understood how crucial it is to be able to look at familiar things from different points of view. So if you feel you’re stuck in a routine boredom of ordinary things that surround you just turn off your usual mode of thinking and try to see it with another perspective — to find exciting in boring.

It has only one error and it's a missing  "a". Otherwise, this is amazing! It even made me learn a new word.
