I remember being in Greece during their economic crash, at a tavern in Piraeus waiting for an early ferry. People who obviously had a lot of stress and worries were dancing, drinking and just generally purging themselves of their difficulties, and it was people of all ages and abilities. Some of the oldest in the crowd were the wildest dancers.

i’ve definitely struggled as a kid with anxiety, being compliant, not being myself around anyone and basically not doing anything i wanted. always been the quiet kid. but over the past while ive been trying to be more spontaneous and crazy. it’s so fun. my ego gets in the way a lot especially when it comes to my appearance and just how i act. but i’m slowly doing it more and more getting out of my comfort zone. it’s been so great. i think we all need to do that more often. whether it’s wearing a cool outfit, talking to someone new, going on a walk somewhere different than usual. it all really really helps me and my quality of life lol.
also if anyone’s got more advice on that type of stuff feel free to reply because i would appreciate it

It's kinda weird that I can closely relate to this. Since I quit my job months ago I've had the free time to explore whatever life throws at me. I've been climbing passionately, volunteering, paintballing, salsa dancing, and started going back to church. All things have lead me to meeting other people and adding some much needed value to my life. I whenever I mention these things to people they look at me exactly like I'm crazy.

Beautiful! "A simple, frugal heart"...this is what's real. The dancing & singing in public, throwing oneself in the ocean etcetera aren't what a reckless abandonment of unhappiness look like: it looks like whatever it means to you. It can look like allowing yourself to sleep 17 hours a day with zero guilt, or stopping to save a turtle even if you're interrupting traffic. It's the 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 part of it, if you're causing no harm (inconveniencing or annoying another person doesn't count--they need to learn that they are not especially entitled to existence). Your experience is yours, and another's is another's; if you are a madman to them, and they roll their eyes...you may consider them a bore, and roll your eyes in return...or you may feel a bigness of heart for them and say "namaste", & wish them a glimpse of nirvana.
All this coming from a girl who's gone literally mad--but it wasn't from embracing my Zorba, it was from suppressing it because others thought me too strange.

I feel this may help me finally solve a problem I've been experiencing for almost a year at this point.
I name music, mostly in Ableton Live but I also play bass guitar. It started about a year ago that I couldn't be satisfied with anything I made and I thought it was by default bad until I got to a largely detached final product, such was becoming increasingly rare. I'd show my music to others and they'd seem genuinely impressed by it, but I didn't feel it. It was because I couldn't let myself be insane when I made music. In order to make music you have to be mad, mad enough that you believe somebody could enjoy your music or even find meaning in it, usually meaning you never intended. You must be mad to believe it can be worthwhile, and in many ways you must be mad to enjoy music at all, because after all it's just noise, wiggly air. Why do you like it? You don't know and neither do I.
