I enjoyed this piece, it's thoughtfully written. Your comment about hobbies-for-profit couldn't be more true, I think that's a very common theme for many people our age.
As for my relationship with clothes - that's a mixed bag! I love that clothes can portray an ideal version of self, but sometimes it's not that deep for me. Oftentimes clothes are just a means to get dressed (for me at least!) but then I feel the pressure of not putting in enough effort. I will say, nothing beats a fun outfit for an outing with friends (love those pants).
Thank you so much, Antonina! I’m glad this resonated with you. Agree that it’s a common theme. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with making money doing what you love (that’s fantastic!), but I hope we can remind ourselves and each other that creativity outside of profit isn’t an indulgence. It’s an essential part of being human.
I hear you. We all have different relationships with getting dressed. I oscillate between feeling like it’s not that serious and then feeling like it’s immeasurably deep. It just depends on the day!
