so when Misha suggests to do a thing, almost always I can’t do it, or don’t wanna (= it would be very unfun / would make me sad / just wouldn’t work the way he is picturing). So I don’t do it. what I do instead is find an alternate route to achieve the grand goal. Like:
I hate cooking, dislike sit-down dinners with family, I really dislike the idea of food=love, and have no family anyway atm. So I didn’t get his book. That path is just not the right path for me. Instead: donated 3 copies to libraries & donate monthly to a local family food bank
I usually can’t do gish & kinda don’t actually really enjoy the stress. It also focuses on super crafty skills & visual arts (sooo many facial portraits 😂). Also I have a camera phobia. Not my thing. Instead: I put extra work into my own art forms (which are music & writing)
I can’t do political debates. Misha is a verbal whiz, Jared is literally a champion debater, and I am SO NOT, lol. I burst into tears in 100% of political talks! What I can do: go talk about climate change tmrw w a bunch of disadvantaged high schoolers
In 2016 Misha wanted us to get other ppl to register to vote, I ****can’t****, I mean ***intense*** social anxiety here, panic attack land. What I could do instead: Sign up w my county to volunteer at the polls & count the provisional ballots
There is always some other path you can find on your own. Think about what they’re really trying to accomplish. What is the grand goal? Think about whether you support the grand goal. (ok if not!) Then find your own path. You are the one in control.
