Recently my bf had to submit an important application. One of the questions was to list his hobbies. And I noticed him reword the things he enjoyed. He even asked me if what he had looked good. “Well of course babe, it’s what you like to do!” Right?
This society continues to shock me. We diem what is cool and accepted. Why can’t my hobby be Netflix and I seem as interesting and together as the person who does marathons? (Don’t answer that)
It just made me wonder where is there a space where who we are and what we like is acceptable, always. Do you have the space where you can like trash tv and eating out and be accepted? I am finding less space to be accepted authentically these days. Especially, if it’s breaking the mold. Which is crazy because it’s literally the campaign and agenda everyone is pushing. But I find that with everyone pushing, looking, and trying to be SO open there is less space to just “Be”.
I hope you have a space to be. Find your people. And this week, find time to do what you actually like. Even if it’s not accepted by the Hobby Committee of America.
