This¹ popped into my feed again, and I want to add something else: being a bit shit at stuff and doing it anyway is specifically a radical, anti-capitalist act. ✊🏻 An underlying reason you want to do things well is because you’ve internalised the lesson that stuff only has value if it literally has economic value – if you can sell it.

Post your wonky drawings. Throw an ungainly pot. Make sub-par dinners. You’re literally smashing the system. ♥️

YES. I've (luckily) adapted this mindset fairly early on in life and I don't think I could've ever found out the things I'm actually good at (spoilers: it wasn't what I thought I'd be good at, nor what my environment stimulated me to do).

Aside from that I found SO many things I'm "meh" at, yet enjoy greatly. It has made my life so much more full and diverse and I've met many wonderful like-minded souls too :)
