    “I am addicted to novelty” You put it into words!! I’ve been trying to articulate to my friends for a while how the reason im alive is recency bias. Like, every new item of clothing, or piece of art, or song I hear is my new favorite. And I feel so grateful that there will always be new places to visit, new books to read, and new shows to watch, even if I live til 100, I can’t consume it all. I am addicted to novelty!!

    the 5-year marriage with renewal, having a wedding every 5 years, while spending like 1/10 you would for a once-in-a-lifetime big wedding. Sounds ideal, more parties, likely less cost, your weddings can get better as the years go by, because you'll likely be making more money.

    Kat! I'm a (heavily-ish) tattooed person with ~ permanence issues~ and let me assure you I feeeel it. However, idk about others, but when I started getting tattooed, I felt like it was a nice Exposure to Permanence. Did I have this thing on my body forever? Yeah. Did I think about it all the time? Nah. It just exists and I'm fine with it - most of the time I just forget I have tattoos. Idk if this makes sense, but also! my tattoos changed with time- they sometimes got more blurry, or less vibrant, and they changed as my body did.

    I had the same thought recently about possibly joining a community band! I always feel so nostalgic about high school band, those people were my ride or die at the time and I miss them. I like playing guitar at home (not so much saxophone which is what I played in hs) but there is something so special about being a small part of something big with a good group of people.

    First, totally normal that you have more friends in cities other than your own. There’s so many other reasons to be living somewhere other than the people in it (job, healthcare, weather, etc). Second, I list my friends in my phone too! I think if I’m trying to be a good friend but also do 1,000 other things it makes me remember to reach out regularly. Third, I’m also getting back into my high high school instrument!
    I also started a UA-cam channel and your videos were definitely part of giving me the confidence to do it!

    In some ways we are so different. I can't have a proper think if the sun is up. I regularly go a week or two with no social contacts and it suits me fine. In other ways I feel a great deal of affinity with you. Late to rebellion and experimentation with identities and aesthetics. Bounced off corporate despite the obvious benefits. Can't have a pet despite loving animals because I can't deal with the limits it would impose. I just swing by your channel every few months and like to hear what's going on with you. I hope you find the best gigs.

I got my first tattoo at 30 and plan to get a bunch more. Now that I've had my corporate career era, where things had to be buttoned up, now that I don't feel like climbing the corporate ladder much anymore I plan to get some sleeves done and maybe throw in some more colorful hair dye in there too!

    It's so crazy hearing you voice my EXACT thoughts about playing an instrument. I started playing clarinet in 4th grade and I HATED practicing at home but I loved being in band SO MUCH. I did every possible year of marching band, jazz band, pit orchestra, indoor percussion. It was also my safe space bc I had a pretty bad home life. I then got to college where I had to privately study clarinet with a professor and I got burnt out so quick because so much of the community I had felt in middle school and high school seemingly disappeared overnight. I almost couldn't complete the graduation requirements because I was so depressed. Anyway just really nice to hear someone else also felt a similar way :')

    I really resonate with what you said about permanence. I think it's challenging since this age (mid-20s) almost has this expectation that there should be some settling into a more permanent (semi-permanent) situation (career, living location, set friends, set look) but as someone who has been on the overachiever / "clean" life path, there are so many new spaces I still want to explore (including dyeing my hair) and options I want to leave open (like being able to travel easily without having to worry about a pet and how to to care of it)-- and I think that's totally fine. Life is about continuous exploration and learning, and there's no reason why it should be reserved for only a set age/period in your life.

    I agree I am not sure if I could commit to having a pet for 10 to 15 years. One thing that was really nice about having a senior cat is that I got to have this amazing bond that went through so many stages of my life for 7 years. he passed away last year and as heartbroken as I was, I knew it was the right time for him and it was the right time for me. He got to have somebody who loved him so much at the end of his life and die in my arms, and I got to have somebody who was there for me through it all and then freed me when my life started changing in ways that were not going to be sustainable for him. He was also so incredibly chill and loved to cuddle which was.... amazing. I'd do it again.

    I don’t think making lists of your friends is weird at all! I think it allows you to be intentional about who/what you want to prioritize in your life. Adult friendships take effort and you are obviously super thoughtful about your approach. ALSO I can totally relate to your philosophy on marriage. I have always thought locking ourselves into a lifelong commitment makes no sense. I have nothing against commitment and am open to the idea of being with my partner for life, but if I or we reach a point where it’s no longer a good fit, then we should be able to move on without shame or guilt. We are all constantly evolving. So many people stay married just to fulfill a promise they made when they were an entirely different person. That said, I’ve never met anyone who agrees with me lol.

    I’m a professional violist here in Denver, and I completely agree with all you said about music and community. For so many musicians, their instrument is so deep-rooted in their identity. That has problems, of course, but the shared identity is also the birth of so many meaningful relationships. Pretty much all my friends are musicians, and most of them I met through various ensembles.

    I have the same issue with permanence and getting bored (in psychology, it’s called habituation). After leaving Seattle i intentionally settled in a smaller Canadian city and bought a house because i wanted to challenge myself to find a sustainable way to live. It’s been really hard, but actually the pandemic and school kind of shook things up a bit. So i guess i still haven’t been really challenged, but the plan is to stay here forever because i value relationships more now and it seemed like in Seattle, people were always coming and going which made it hard.

    Ok so I've been a long time subscriber like back in the my preppy style days and holy fuck I've been on this whole journey of watching you grow. I've honestly been somewhat similar I guess. Graduated in 2020 peak covid times and was stuck without work. Fell into scuba diving and became a diving instructor who's bopped round from place to place realizing that capitalism ain't my shit (making money really never has) and wanting to do environmental work somewhere in the world to save our little home that's on fire. Anywho I applied to Peace Corps which I could be doing in the end of January but I feel you on the peramance thing. I know it's 2 years and that feels too permanent for me as it's really stuck doing that whatever comes of it for 27 months. The clearance is strict so I may not even fully get in and then I'm like omg what do I do next really? I want something with more purpose and value and I'm lost of trying to get there. Idk if you or anyone will really ever read this but I believe maybe permanence is what I struggle with and you may have just defined it instead of commitment. Thank you Katherine for showing us your journey and teaching me how I'm not America's #1 fan and I would like to definitely not work in the states. ok mess done bi bi

    I can relate SO much to the issues with permanence. I don’t have any tattoos and it’s not because I don’t like them it’s just that I have no clue what I would want on my body for potentially forever. My tastes and interests change so much. Something I love now or have loved for years might become something I don’t love as much later. If you asked me five years ago what I would consider getting a tattoo of I would say something Harry Potter related. Now? I would never get a Harry Potter related tattoo (no offense to anyone who has one.) and what if I want to change its position or location at some point? It’s just too permanent for me lol.

    Imam Ali, peace be upon him, said: I cant understand how any one denies the second life although he/she seen the first life-this life is actually a living proof of both the existence of its creator, as well as a clear proof that indicates that another life in heaven or hell may also be a very possible chance as well-.

    ​this life is temporary while the next is forever eternal either in paradise or burning in Hell fire
    good qualities are beneficial, and bad qualities are harmful
    Be good dont be bad and refrain from sins and obey God and worship him alone in the way he wants to be worshiped and you will be saved from Hell fire and will enter paradise and be happy forever
    ​Whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it,
    ​or may not see it if God pardons him/her and has mercy on him/her that's if he/she try's to fix what he/she has spoiled, in the right time,
    When you give charity God protects you and blesses you with more good things in life or the hereafter.
