Invest in your craft/passions! Rejoice over the opportunity to be a student again!
No but really, I’ve been wanting to explore with other cameras besides my point and shoot but felt so overwhelmed so I kept putting it off. I finally attended a class and its true..it’s never as bad as your mind makes it seem. I’m happy to be learning again and exploring the unknown 🩶

I signed up for an 8-week jewelry class last month on a (kind of) whim. I work full time in Marketing for a food start up so ALOT of time feeling stressed on screens. I love making stuff with my hands and have always been curious about jewelry making so I enrolled at a course at my local Adult Education Center!!
Last night was my first class and I’m so so so happy I did it. It’s so cool to CHOOSE to learn (outside a more forced school setting) and spend hours dedicated to a new craft. I included a picture of the first thing I made hehe. I sawed, drilled, filed, sanded and stamped. i felt so proud and powerful using tools and doing something totally new
If anyone needs a push to try something new creatively do it!! Dedicate the time. if you know you can’t force yourself to learn alone in your room (me neither) a community center is great. Holds you accountable to show up and your supporting a cool org.

Doing the same exercises at the same level at the same time and place with people who are interested in the same thing as you is like, one of life’s cheat codes after school (whether it’s compulsory or collegiate) especially if you’re in a new city and don’t have an existing support network / friend group (added benefit is keeping your mind active and learning and getting better at new skills 😎)
I’ve taken filmmaking, comedy writing, and DJing classes and after each one I’ve picked up at least one new friend I could hit up for a coffee, dinner, or in the best case, to collaborate on a project I’m excited about but am struggling to find the motivation to get started on.

Look for community classes in and around you and try one, alone or with a friend. It’s a good way to learn something new, and to learn things about yourself— it’s especially good to pick something you’re bad at, and stick with it in spite of being bad! Learning can be clumsy and imperfect.
