just things you do for fun or out of curiosity. you don't need to share it or monetise it. the value is in the doing.

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!

Not client work. Not serious work. Not important work. Just fun and for me.
We all need to just make things for ourselves where the only inspo is the things you like.

discovering new loves, hobbies, passions, etc. finding the cheapest way to get involved in whatever sparks your interest and finding joy in life like you’re a little kid in an art class.

i don't think anyone ever intends to become a recreational ornithologist. but i've noticed that it definitely creeps up on you slowly in your mid-twenties. it starts with noticing how funny pigeons are, then learning pigeon lore, and suddenly you're feeding your neighbourhood birds every morning and buying books on birds. as a child i idolised the pigeon lady in home alone 2, and i woke up this morning and realised — i AM the pigeon lady 🐦

reading is a habit of building and developing your empathy and critical thinking skills. you’re forced to sit with an idea for however long you are reading it and forced to contextualise it and comprehend it within your own life and perspective. You can’t just scroll away or pause or put it on 2x speed. you have to sit with it. it’s super underrated, but genuinely I’ve made this a habit for the last year and feel like a totally different person. also you come out of it having learned something new or seeing the world in a slightly new way. I literally do not see any downsides to reading. make reading cool again! also you don’t have to do it in one big block, you can space it out — 15 mins here, 45 there — whatever works for you!

our cultural obsession with being perceived as cool is a disease. its peak capitalistic/consumerist propaganda. fuck being cool. like what you like and who cares if it's cool or not. it's tiresome and we need to leave it in 2024. literally nothing gives me the ick more than people who betray themselves in an attempt to be perceived as cool by the masses. be yourself — even if it means you're 'uncool'.
