there needs to be an accepted norm of people taking a couple years off to learn nothing in particular. to just go out into the world and notice things about it and feel connected to it. to not gain any practical skills except how to tell one plant from another or to describe the skies or to know how the moon moves intimately, to have convoluted yet utterly inapplicable mathematical diagrams in your notebooks, to learn which berries taste sweetest
it needs to be accepted that sometimes wasting time is the best way to spend your time. when it's on your own terms and makes you feel connected to the world and people around you
