Rec'd on 🧠 5/15: WHAT RANDOM INTEREST OF YOURS HAS HELPED YOU MEET SOMEONE NEW?

basically every meaningful connection i make with people stems from a shared interest in one of these things. i think about it a lot and i'm not sure why exactly it is, but the people i'm drawn to most all seem to have common tastes. maybe the media we consume is a reflection of who we are as people, and this is what i'm seeing?

SHARE YOUR INTERESTS

We all pick up small habits and advice from the people we love that make our experience, here on earth, more enjoyable and abundant. Once we open ourselves up a little and talk to others, we realize that we have more in common with people than we think. And meet people who, like you, share those same interests. And if not, you can at least interchange opinions and perspectives and learn from that in someway for your personal growth. I love when I’m going on about my day and someone recommends me a song they like, a book to read or a new place to eat. Having an app like letterboxd where I can connect with people that also like movies and expand my interest. How I discovered how much I like mate because of a girl I was with. How I cook some meals a certain way, because I enjoy them being prepared like that by my mother. How my friend and I go together to as many coffee shops as we can because we love that shared space. And I could go on… it’s interesting and beautiful seeing how there’s a little of each of us in one another.

Nothing specific, but everything

It's all a social thing surely. you see what other people do and how others react to it, and that informs your opinions and how you react to others. Also if you try something and observe others reactions, even passively, you'll then continue to do things or not. This would lead to more interaction with / exposure to the thing, and acquired taste kicks in. So it's a reflection of what other people around you like, and a reflection of the volume of things that are around you, a combination of the two and a bit of special sauce that I haven't figured out yet, but definitely isn't money

WE ARE ALL CONNECTED

I’ve thought about this idea of amalgamation throughout my existence. I then think about how those people who have those interests, ideas or habits I’ve adopted got it from someone else. It’s like art when people are influenced by others’ work to create something. It’s not a complete copy but something inspired. How beautiful!!
