I’m going to step out of “profound introspection mode” for a moment to remind everyone that it is also completely okay and also quite necessary to just be silly sometimes.
This was prompted by an interesting but slightly odd conversation I had with someone who couldn’t seem to grasp how I could often post deep, thought provoking, philosophical/spiritual/esoteric or inspirational type topics, and then also post things that are just, well, silly. They felt that it should either be one or the other. I found this to be very strange. Don’t we all have dualities? I would hope so, and I would hope one would feel compelled to embrace them all. I suppose if you’re representing a business and required to put forth a “professional image”, that’s one thing.
But this is not that, my X account is definitely not that. This is all for my personal experiences, whether they be questioning the deepest mysteries of the universe, or just laughing at the absurdities of life and yes, being completely silly sometimes.
We need joy as much as profundity. We need to laugh as often as we contemplate. Perhaps more. Otherwise I think one would truly go mad.
Silliness is as necessary as seriousness. I embrace my silliness, and I encourage everyone to do so as well. 🤪
