From the title i think we already have an idea about where this post will lead to right ?
Learning as a hobby is the best thing ever, no matter what you learn (from the different type of stones to how to build a successful business) it will always interesting to bring it to the table while talking with your friends or even be able to break the ice with strangers.
To be able to make it a two birds one stone hit, we could mainly focus on what could hell us āsurviveā on a daily basis.
For exemple :
- Financial education: learning how to budget, what to prioritise, the 24h hour rule before buying something, is it a need or a want, etc ā¦
- History : deep dive in the different paths human history is an interesting thing and if you analyse it enough you could even find ātipsā that helps you in your day to day life ā Buddha : genuine peace and happiness in simple life ā Gandhi : how to deal with conflicts by staying calm ā Mandela : understanding is better than revenge ā Fall of the Berlin wall : perseverance leads to transformation etc ā¦
- Cultures in different countries : learn from other countries ā culture just like Japan and how they have a punctuality culture / discipline and routine etc ā¦
- Learning a skill : for exemple cooking but make it more fun, why japan use rise ? What was its signification in their history/culture, its nutrition value, how to make at least 10 dishes with rise etc ā¦
- Fashion : yes we can learn a āsurvivalā skill from fashion just like why such piece was created and how, learning to fix your ripped pieces as a form of anti consumerism
And much more to learn ... :)

i love finally understanding a topic or concept, itās so gratifying and empowering when you can apply new knowledge to your life even if itās 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 earthās gift to us all

In an age where we āmakeā so much stuff to live as content for entertainment Iāve been enjoying making purely for learning. An artist I want to learn about? Iāll make a video about it. An old film process Iām interested in? Iāll write a page or two on it. Learning through making has me much more engaged with the topic Iām interested in as well as allows me to create stuff without the burden of worrying if itās good. Itās like adult homework. And you can do it about anything. Highly recommend.

Iāve learned almost everything I know from a book (checking out library books for my hobbies) but also YouTube and friends.books and friends are nice when I feel simply overwhelmed with how much information exists on the internet about how to do literally anyrhing
YouTube can help you with sillypractical skillsā¦ learning how to unjam my lock, unclog my drains, etc etc
For other skills, befriend older ppl or friends that āhave their shit togetherā
Most friends are happy to teach you something or even walk alongside you while you do taxes, apartment hunt, or cook a steak :) i love when my friends teach me stuff
And b patient with yourself. You canāt know everything and youāre not gonna learn it all overnight. Take small steps and stay learnin š«”

If there is one style that literally calms me is stippling.
The endless dots, the slow process, the nuance effect, the final results.
I just love it and appreciate it even more when i spend hours/days to finish one.

The fact that i can stay in bed warm with my phone or laptop and music in the background as i watch my favourite movies/series/youtube vids with a warm tea is simple enough to make me grateful for wherever i am today.
Worrying about what I should wear to work is a beautiful thing because itās a privilege that sadly some people canāt afford :(
Complaining about to cook is a beautiful thing because someone somewhere sadly canāt even afford/have access to a simple bread piece.
Literally feeling the warmth of the sun while standing waiting for the bus is a beautiful thing to cherish and be grateful for.
