Extracurricular study

Find something that tickles ur brain and dive in, ideally sitting at a desk and having some kind of place to take notes, write questions you have, and note down resources. I think it can really improve your relationship to yourself to see that ur capable of not just scrolling mindlessly for hours, but for caring deeply about a topic, treating it seriously and with curiosity. Doesn’t need to be an intellectual topic at all! I’ve just started lap swimming so am ‘studying’ freestyle technique, what drills to do, the swimming styles of various Olympians etc

Taking classes

Doing the same exercises at the same level at the same time and place with people who are interested in the same thing as you is like, one of life’s cheat codes after school (whether it’s compulsory or collegiate) especially if you’re in a new city and don’t have an existing support network / friend group (added benefit is keeping your mind active and learning and getting better at new skills 😎) I’ve taken filmmaking, comedy writing, and DJing classes and after each one I’ve picked up at least one new friend I could hit up for a coffee, dinner, or in the best case, to collaborate on a project I’m excited about but am struggling to find the motivation to get started on.

sadly i cant relate to this but its been eye opening

i actually hope in the future to have daughters, so reading this perspective has been a nice insight into how autonomy plays a massive role into their upbringing :)
