What do you find enjoyable now that you might’ve otherwise been blocked from / hidden away from? Shows, TV, hobbies, etc?

A lot of heavy questions here so I figured a light and interesting one was due - living with joy intentionally is difficult so I’m hoping you’ve found some stuff that brings that

Wow, that’s really insightful and awesome you’re bonding with your cats, I got my first cat years ago and went through a similar journey. I hope you have an amazing time with your pets and get the full brunt of love and fulfillment and wholeness pets bring.

To your first point : I don’t have your background but did internalize a lot of productivity / hustle bs and similarly had to unlearn that kind of guilt, if I could leave anything useful I’d recommend luxury hobbies as a transition towards unproductive fun without guilt in that those hobbies require productivity but are ultimately pleasure centric ( buying expensive ingredients for a fancy meal you wouldn’t normally cook, setting up a whole candle / tea / desert station to read a book or comic, etc ).
