i love treating myself like i'm an aristocrat in training. my education should be well-rounded - versed in intellectual pursuits of science and economics but also artistic pursuits like literature and creation, physicalities like dancing, practicalities like cooking. everything is simply something to be learned, and when we learn we can adapt to whatever bullshit is happening in the world.

Happy for OP!🫀 Everyone is an aristocrat in training. Some are just too self loathing to realize it. “Oh but I don’t have money to do that” News flash, study shows the best universities have trouble with getting students to read a book. Every year libraries close because nobody’s reading. BILLIONS of good books get thrown away each year. Just one page of something meaningful will put you above billions of people. Self education is a lost art. But it’s wonderful that you choose to not waste your life. Keep it up. Life will reward you!

existentialbefore40 I'm determined to not let the world pass me by while I watch. Thanks for this comment - here's to learning wherever we can.

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

i love being an information sponge! it doesn't matter if the subjects have no direct connection to your chosen trade– by proxy of you learning about these topics, your brain starts making connections and allows you to think more creatively about how you approach problems within your life and maybe even your career field!

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.

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.
