My ex was very intellectual (which I liked about him) but also like very strongly opinionated about everything (did not like), and long story short I always felt bad about myself for liking things he thought were stupid. He would tell me that it was fine for me to like this stuff, but at the same time he always had to comment on how much he DIDN’T like it, so I always ended up feeling bad anyway.

Here is a list of things I can enjoy again:

-anime

-garbage reality tv

-kpop

-pop music in general

-very liberal political media like John Oliver

-junk food

-hiking to enjoy the ambiance and not just to have an athletic experience

-same for kayaking

-window shopping

-video games

-fake plants

-very girly decor

-YouTube deep dives

-exploring spirituality

Cheers to not taking everything so seriously and just enjoying stuff to relax 🍻
