This came up because I had a few conversations where I asked someone what thing in their life they had discovered and loved recently, and more than one person told me they hadn’t done that in a long time. I left these conversations feeling unsure, sad, and a bit perplexed at where and what people are finding and inhabiting inspiration.
Hi Chelsea. This was a wonderful read. I would say that listening to the various voices of the writers whose newsletters I follow keeps me curious. There is such a variety of life experiences that come into my Substack app including yours that just allows me to stand in your shoes for a few minutes and really feel you and this makes me very curious about experiences which are alien to mine yet at the same time so relatable to my life as well.thanks again
PS. I have taken to dictating these comments while I walk in the evenings listening to the news letters via the audio function. It’s a bit clumsy and the grammar and syntax goes all over the place. I hope you will all forgive me for this but it at least allows me to experience the newsletters on a daily basis as they come in.
I love this so much! I’ve been thinking about joy, the been eating of it and why I tend to be too serious - and how to shift this. I want to spend time with this question!!

I just want to tell you that I have kept this post in my little app so that I keep seeing it. Because I wanna keep asking myself this question!
