What bores me?

Performative people.

The kind who speak only to inflate themselves.
Who name-drop, exaggerate, polish their image like it’s a trophy.
Who mistake volume for depth.

I’ve never been impressed by noise.

Maybe it’s age.
Maybe it’s experience.
Maybe it’s that Scorpio stellium quietly observing from the corner of the room.

I see patterns.
I notice inconsistencies.
I feel when something doesn’t sit right.

That doesn’t mean I judge harshly.
It just means I no longer pretend not to see.

There was a time I gave everyone the benefit of the doubt — endlessly.
Now I still look for the good… but I don’t ignore the truth.

What truly holds my attention?

Authenticity.
Quiet confidence.
People who don’t need to prove anything.

Depth never bores me.
Pretence always does.
