I think being whimsy , makes a person feel alive in this fast pace world. It's a pause to it. Being whismical is like finding life again

Love the themed outfits one because in an age of endless aesthetics and rules as to what you must and must not wear should you ascribe to a niche style, I love not being boxed in and playing dress up. Like

Today: Presenting at the UN

Tomorrow: Avril Lavigne music video

this felt so heartwarming, like a nostalgic breeze, a reminder to not take oneself so seriously, we can be whimsical.

this made me feel less weird about telling people "im exploring my child-like wonder" to justify silly behavior at my 'big' age. Thank you so much for this.

This is so cuteee and fun! I’ve been feeling like being an adult is when things get boring and serious and feeling like it was better to be a kid. But now that I am an adult, I get to decide if I want to make my life boring or fun and it’s okay to bring back all the whimsical things that I loved when I was young.

Thank youu for this article!! 🌸🫶🏻☺️✨

This is absolutely beautiful. So many amazing takes from this post. I think I can definitely start to make life even more whimsy and less dull (even from someone who loves their life a lot). Thank you for sharing this ☺️

I love whimsy being described as wildly necessary! Yes!

Really needed to read this, the times I was happiest was when I did things like this. The last two years I have been focused on being “practical” and it’s killed my joy. I’m going back.

I LOVE THIS !! You're absolutely right, the world seems to be losing meaning, and the best way to resist is by looking within and making sure that our perspective is open to find beauty. It isn't about where we are, but how we choose to interact with it. Children seem to do best at that!

Thank you for your thoughtful writing. It was inspiring to read, and it’s wonderful to meet you! If you’re curious, here’s a bit more about me and my work:
