This is a something I’ve been struggling to write for several months now. It never seems to get at exactly what I’m trying to get at; which is, in part, caring as performance, the expectation that there are things we have to care about - specifically in the context of hustle culture, and so much more…
But I think what it boils down to is this:
The explicit expression of NOT CARING about things you are “supposed to” is a fundamentally healthy and mindful way to clear space for the things you actually do care about.
