Reality to be Experienced

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

Soren Kierkegaard

Some nights I have to go searching for the quote that fits just how I’m feeling and other days it’s only a few in. This one hit home though. Instead of trying to solve the problem, experience the details. ::insert explosion noises here::

It’s such a strange thing learning new cultures. You don’t really think about all the mini cultures all around you. Culture is different depending on what stores, friend groups, fan clubs, workshops, churches or whatever else you join into, And then on top of that it gets even smaller as you get to know each group. Stepping into a new culture isn’t about solving problems. It’s about learning to bring your whole self while accepting the selves of those around you.
