Nothing has made more sense than this podcast... The fact that all these years I have been suppressing my morning hunger, rushing to work out on an empty stomach, and eating afterwards like men is just a pity. youtu.be/cEVAjm_ETtY?si…

I plan to travel more next year and found out about this website, Tryp.com, and a pretty interesting article from its founder: tryp.com/en/blog/how-di…

Its nothing about societal norms - but more as a coping mechanism.,

But so you're not disappointed (you can guess who I asked), but here is their response:
"No, this quote does not appear in any of Michelle Obama's books. Based on available sources, it originates from her March 2025 podcast episode with Keke Palmer (titled something along the lines of "Embracing the Quiet" in fan recaps), where she discussed finding joy in boredom and solitude as a counter to constant hustle culture.
Her published books, Becoming (2018), The Light We Carry (2022), and any children's titles like Rising Above, focus on themes such as personal growth, resilience, and family, without this specific phrasing or sentiment. If it's a loose paraphrase, it echoes broader ideas in The Light We Carry about self-care in quiet moments, but the exact wording isn't there.

@Doreenandy23 Hard copy please. I must start reading books for the lore of it. 😅🤭

Somebody buy me her book, does she write this in her books as well? Because I've been about this all my adult life once I clocked it. Life is in the ordinary. The nothingness of the in between. So good.

michelle obama said you have to know how to exist when life is just life. she said “sometimes it’s like, this is not exciting. i’m not winning. i’m not losing. i’m not achieving. it’s not a party. i don’t have friends around everyday. most of life is just the nothing in the middle. most of life is just ordinary. you gotta be happy being a little bored.” and I felt that.
