the same thing has been on my mind lately, too. the pressure to acquire (or produce) Knowledge instead of just like, making whatever you want and enjoying life...can be so overwhelming. Why does it feel illicit to do things that feel good without stacking something ~educational~ on top? Why do I have to constantly acknowledge how horrible everything is by reading heavy books and listening to serious podcasts and watching documentaries? Seems like a scam. I’m gonna listen to/watch/make things that make me happy! and I refuse to be joy-shamed!
