for example - I find music theory very soothing - it’s only a hobby - i don’t intend on sharing my results with anyone - it’s like a puzzle for me - it is math - it is so fun to practice the shapes of the triads into my fingers - i love all the different ways these sounds can go together - i never lead with this as a conversation bc it’s only mine - i skip parties to study it - i stop scrolling bc i’m like - can i move my fingers faster in this pentatonic scale? - it’s literally so fun to have a secret hobby - nobody has to know

this likely developed in me as an overcorrected effort to not be That Guy who forces girls to listen to him play guitar at them or posts instagram stories of mediocre work-in-progress pictures of their basquiat clones for the easy likes, but as a result I am now weirdly secretive with my hobbies.
I’ve only recently began to share Some of my writing and that does feel good when it’s received warmly, but there is something to be said about honing your skills in private and surprising your friends with your sick rollerblade tricks or improvised guitar solo when an opportunity presents itself. It’s like when you get in better physical shape and someone you haven’t seen in a while compliments you, but for The Brain.

having serveral hobbies & simply bc they're fun and make you happy instead of hyperfixating so you know every detail to keep in ur back pocket to feel a sense of reassurance about how much you've invested in them (ive fallen victim to this).
you're allowed to enjoy something with minimal knowledge on it. with time you'll realize you've accumulated so much personalized information. deets that correlate to you. thats what make your hobbies special and gratifying like they were intended to be. continue to explore and learn!

the sky is a mirror
people aren’t a way because of a planet, things aren’t happening because of planets
astrology is a tool - planets are a mirror to what is happening on earth - in the same way one uses a mirror to pick spinach out of their teeth
there are many branches of astrology in the same way there are many kinds of engineering
it is not scientifically proven bc empowering ppl with a free tool (developed and utilized by cultures globally for 1000s of years lolz) would result in a huge economic loss for whoever funds the science tests.
literally Duh
if u vibe go further and if you do not vibe, stop being so angsty about it

body is a vessel who carries me through life.
i’m grateful for the body i live inside and she needs me to be responsible for her.
body positivity is difficult if ur looks oppose the standard of beauty in your region. and i've observed a tendency to ricochet into body negativity from there. Literally no - that is full trash - shame, hatred towards yourself is painful and inconvenient and lame?
so in body neutrality - thoughts become ‘what do i wear tonight to feel good? does this meal need to ground me or energize me?’ and suddenly life is more sensual because one is more embodied in every moment. there isn’t that outside - looking in at yourself to monitor your perfection or lacktheroef - vibe which keeps us out of our intuitions and impulses.
suddenly you are liberated and …it’s scary at first bc u have thrown away the point of comparison which you’ve measured life against?
if that makes sense?
idk
