I truly feel that the moment I liberated myself from the ideas of ‘doing / learning things for productivity / success’, my relationship with everything changed. Like wdym I can learn typography without becoming a designer, learn to play an instrument without ever performing, and just.. be?

There’s a lot of info about ‘perfecting a craft’ but I’d bet it would help most people to just ‘dabble in a craft’

@skinnylatte Yes I've been saying same for many years. Why does everything we do now have to be monetised, to become the side (or main) hustle, to be perfected? Why can't be just have hobbies as hobbies? Why can't we enjoy art and craft activities for the relaxation and joy they bring, and their ability to turn our minds off from all other distractions?
