feeling wonder as a cure to modern malaise

experiencing wonder is the practice of being curious. as we grow up we are conditioned to conflate curiosity with a lack of knowledge. asking questions is seen as a flaw of character. but curiosity is what makes life interesting and wondrous. the easiest and only way to get back your child like wonder is to be more curious imo. curiosity in turn makes you more observant of the world around you. when you notice the little things, it makes you realise that there are little magic moments everywhere at all times – just like when you were a kid.

Be excited and be curious

Nothing specific here. Just look closer at the leaves today and if someone does something you don’t understand, think about the reasons why before jumping to any emotions

pure curiosity

there are a lot of big and small reasons to keep going but they can be hard to see when you’re deep down in the well, so to speak for whatever reason the thing that kept me going was knowing that the ever-changing nature of the world means that things can’t stay the same way forever, wondering how things would change, and being curious enough to stick around and find out

Being bad at a hobby

Last year I started to learn piano, again. I first wanted to learn piano around 2020/21, I got a cheap keyboard and started with online lessons, or just whatever I could find, this time was weird for me, so when I saw that I was bad (really bad), I just abandoned it. Last year I got the opportunity to take piano lessons for basically free, so I took them. When I started I was bad, actually, the worst one in the whole class. But I had a passion that was palpable, and still is. The course finished, and I was still the worst one, but I still keep playing piano, daily, why? First of all, I like it, second, it reminds me I'm human, there are things that I'm naturally good at, this is not one of them, but I really don't believe in talent, being bad at something just means the room for growth is almost infinite. And maybe you have figured it out, this isn't true only for the piano 🐝

Create despite not feeling inspired

Recently, I haven't been feeling inspired to make music or play my instruments, idk why, rough few weeks ig. And as you might have seen, I also haven't been inspired to write some recs. Erich Fromm once wrote that an artist must have knowledge in their field, and that they have to create, despite not having the right tools/object of creation, because if a painter spends years waiting for the perfect muse, when they find it, their skill won't be enough. This was an analogy to love, but I think it also applies as what it is at face value. If you don't create, you won't get to know what you like, to love the world through your art, and even if you find the perfect idea for a song, painting, etc. You might not be able to make it without that knowledge
