I think whimsy is as necessary as breath. So much that we once took for granted has been gradually removed, especially post pandemic. Thanks for this lovely post and thank you for valuing whimsy in this beige, soulless, efficient world where we 'laugh, but not all of our laughter and weep, but not all of our tears'.

Love this reminder to indulge in the whimsical! And love this list too :)) This reminded me of a piece of wisdom I heard once: people tend to forget about the joyfulness of being a child when they grow up and then focus on the hardships of being an adult, instead of keeping that same child-like curiosity and whimsy (as you put it!) and carrying that on into adulthood, while focusing on the good things of being an adult.
