im not learning to cook "become good at cooking," or to be seen as such, something where the usefulness or good of the cooking was external there's an internal reference point, of "this is my actual life, i live in an actual life, and this cooking is useful to me"

there is like a reality to my life i am coming to occupy, versus literally everything being in the service of making the "yatharth-machine" slightly better and more viable of a human being

it feels silly to compare "surfing" to "coming to occupy the reality of my life," but that's really how it feels

where does that sort of attentional architecture come from? what made me think the world needed to work in such a way my attention always needed to be elsewhere, not on me? https://t.co/1BAoSNMguG

hypervigilant babies look different. they’re too busy watching the adults in the room, in fear of their reactions to them actually touching a block to actually play, it’s heartbreaking. https://t.co/LWIXcMmEwx

i kind of wanted to sing as good as other people but right now im crying because i can't be other people, i can't have their voice, but between not being able to sing at all, and being able to sing about as well as i can, i'd rather have the latter

@AskYatharth it's not silly at all, they're extremely analogous, for example you're learning that it's not you who makes the waves
