@kelkepplar yes, so much agreed...being in a state of constant reaction is pretty unhealthy, its no small wonder everyone seems to suffer anxiety these days. I think being in that state makes it harder to "dream" or to think about the kind of world we actually want to create instead of just trying to resist/survive. And nature is so beautiful and deeply healing and fulfilling for the spirit ๐ I really start craving it if I havent been out in it in a while. I hope you have somewhere lovely to escape to! ๐
@hereliesverity I know exactly what you mean, I grew up in the big city and love to fantasize about moving out to the countryside and living a quiet simple life, I think in modern life people don't always take time to look inward, there's so much going on in the world it's easy to become only reactionary and never actually do or think about things for yourself, and I think getting out of that environment can help you grow as a person. It it's helpful to take a step back and live a little slower instead of constantly being blown back and forth by all the distractions of the world that demand our attention and pull our thoughts away from more substantial things.
@kelkepplar @kelkepplar i had to think about that one for a while, as i used to have a dream similar to yours, actually i love your curiosity shop idea, thrifting and finding unique and beautiful things and repairing/cleaning them up gives me a lot of joy...so I can really see the appeal. I guess my focus has shifted more "inwards" so I can be prepared to put my best self forward no matter what changing situations or challenges arise. Ill always hold the idea of just living a simple kind of homesteading life close to my heart ๐๐
