this is probably my favorite acc on youtube and the video essays are really good for people who need short bursts of extreme mental stimulation. intensity is high but the barrier to entry is low - there are video essays about everything from 18th century philosophy to nickelodeon’s victorious!!!! linking my fav one to recommend people which is about spirited away
i want to invest myself in learning how to make good food and be able to share that with others. i was thinking about how sad it is that cooking is a hobby that produces perishable work. it doesn’t last forever and eventually i will have nothing to show for what i’ve done. but i think the fact that food is fleeting reflects how nothing in life lasts and everything is always changing; we can only appreciate what we have in the present and i think food brings us back to that notion. whether it’s sharing a meal at home with ur parents or catching up with a friend over lunch or enjoying a new cafe on ur own, food is meant to bring ur mind to the current moment in that u are tasting, seeing, smelling, and interacting with the item before u. to be able to offer that to my loved ones and also share that experience with them is a privilege, even if it is short-lived.
i’ve been struggling with this lately too but what helps me is just going with my first instinct of what i wanna do when faced with different options. don’t overthink if it’s the best one, just go with what ur brain latched onto first bc it’s probably for good reason
