PUTTING AS MUCH OF AN EFFORT TO:

gain a bit more empirical - practical knowledge on matters that help me understand how the world moves around me + affect my daily living (like economics, history, health) as i tend to put into learning abt more abstract, creative, emotional matters (culture or arts or fashion or what have you)

Why i love learning

i love finally understanding a topic or concept, it’s so gratifying and empowering when you can apply new knowledge to your life even if it’s not practical i love being able to have in depth conversations about what my friends and i are learning and all the ups and downs that come with it to learn and grow is such a part of the human experience to me, but not just humans do it- everything does it the trees, the grass, your cat- to learn is mother earth‘s gift to us all

creating for the sake of creation

a lot of hobbies pushed to us are surrounded by consumption. we watch shows, movies. consume albums, buy clothes and items, etc. not that there's anything inherently wrong with consuming, but consumption without creation breeds dullness. we all have creativity within us. it gets beaten out when there are expections to commoditize your creativity. you feel the need to be the best, to be perfect in the first shot at something. creation without the expectation of consumption is how we push back. i write poetry, even if it sucks. i drew a pig going to bed in a room full of disproportinately sized furniture because i felt like it. i'm looking to start dancing again. the world has so much that's yet to be made, and we're blessed with the ability to contribute to that body of art.

Doing things scared

i've been facing paralysis when i have to do something that i'm anxious about. i know at the end it'll be something "good for me", but that in itself doesn't stop the anxieties i have. waiting on it and stewing in my thoughts isn't helping me feel better. so, why not do things scared? the fear will be there regardless. i'm trying to push through the fear and do things anyways. for example, i have a gap year in between my graduation and my job. the thought of applying to jobs in this market fills me with undeniable dread, but i'm doing it anyways one job at a time. (on a side note, one anti-recommendation i have is the modern job hunt. why the fuck is this so hard) the things we "have" to do feel like a deep pool sometimes. scream as you take the plunge, and you come out on the other end feeling a little bit lighter.

wikipedia rabbit holes can be fun sometimes

in this world which feeds us manufactured stories designed to provoke, following threads of literally anything can foster our genuine sense of curiosity which is being commodified at every turn. go to the main page of wikipedia and click click click and let your thoughts wander. for instance, today i landed on the page of flags sorted by design. did you know that libya's flag was just solid green from 1977-2011? that cyprus is one of the only national flags to have a map of itself on it? and that nepal's flag is the only non-rectangular national flag in the world? unless you want to make a non-rectangular flag for your hypothetical nation. the world is your oyster.
