Without whimsy, I could not survive this society

This video is about how embracing whimsy transformed my perspective on life in difficult situations and provided a much-needed escape that helped me not to give up. How has being creative and joyfull nature helped me to cope with life's challenges and past scars? From cherishing small joys to using humor and imagination as tools for resilience, I share my personal journey of finding beauty and enchantment in everyday moments and thus, finding reasons to love life regardless . 🐝🍄 🌿Maybe some of you know what I'm talking about?
Let's sprinkle this chaotic world together with a touch of whimsy! 🐌 🪐 🌞

I was just thinking last night I need to start reading books from ancient times to distance myself from all this ugliness happening around me. Thank you for this video.

[@faerysoul]

You are very welcome! And I feel that!

[@Amanita._.Verosa._.]

A series of unfortunate events is a funny, absurd (in a good way) series, if you like. Also, the Winnie the Pooh books with illustrations can also be good for the soul. Charlie Mackasey artwork is exceptionally good. His art captures in a moment whimsy and beauty of what it means to be alive. ❤ Much love to you.

[@digitalclown2008]

​@@FG-ie7cu Well written. Shit advice. Books are not communicating with you. You communicate with yourself when you read. Talking to ppl is still important.

[@digitalclown2008]

If you actually choose to genuinely immerse yourself in ancient history without rose tinted glasses it will help you let go of your "woe is me" cynical center of the world view of things. Some context will help you recognize the actual beauty around u

Basically, you're a human being..this society is not human-friendly❤

[@polygnomial]

I find society hard to live with even with whimsy sometimes. It is so important to develop and embrace coping mechanisms.

[@faerysoul]

Yup!

[@Art_and_Anxiety]

I was always a sensitive child (and now a sensitive adult) with a vivid imagination. I was constantly daydreaming and wishing I was elsewhere, and I still do. This speaks to me and makes me feel less alone in this cold world.

[@nanwilder2853]

Art, specifically drawing, saved me in a chaotic, traumatic childhood-with a mentally Ill parent. You call it “whimsy”, and now make a living as an Artist : Good for you! I never figured out how to do so. Wishing you the best, going forward.

[@FG-ie7cu]

I think you should google how to do so and keep trying. : -) It always encourages me when I go through a thrift store, to see all the truly BAD art and ugly paintings that have been published, framed, and have hung on someone's wall at one point. I mean, I think most of us could create something more interesting than at least half of what is in there, without half trying. : -)

[@faerysoul]

I feel you! Though art is not my fulltime job yet, so I cannot quite say I am making a living of it. I still have a job in a different profession and all. :D

[@faeriesmak]

I found you through your autism video and subscribed immediately. I found out that I was autistic a few years ago when one of my sons was diagnosed. I am also an artist and I sell vintage goods on Etsy. Your videos really speak to me.

[@ragdollrose2687]

I really struggle with the loss of whimsy lately. It's something that comes easily to me, but I had to be so focused and serious to survive in the past few years that I don't have the energy for simple things in life. I've burned myself out and, now that I have space and time to recover, I feel so unequipped to receive beauty and softness again. It's easier to numb yourself by consuming vapid content online and avoiding what could truely makes us happy instead of facing the discomfort that comes before enjoying things again... I have two months to rest and return to myself, but the task is daunting

[@grandmasinpajamas6619]

Frivolity (Mother’s Day 2024) she tip-toed thru the tulips in her mind as thoughts vacated. immersed for hours planting flowers while onlookers debated. she heard their words: “how strange” “absurd!” so, for a moment hesitated but when she stppoed, her heart-rate dropped and her ego was deflated. Imagine that! so she stepped back to view what she’d created. with opened eyes, she realized: this should be celebrated! you see- frivolity’s a quality often underrated. there’s no wrong way to spend the day if it makes you feel elated.

[@Aphrodite77798]

You speak to a deep hunger in us all.

[@BlueDulac]

You have described me entirely, especially when you mentioned playing secret games. It brings me the joy. Whimsy is a word that I stumbled into about 10 years ago. It described something in my work, my photography specifically, and it stuck with me. Then it became more, so much more that when I legally changed my name recently to Blue, which suits me much more than my given name, I chose Whimsy as my middle name. 😉 It’s so nice to know there are others out there like me who search for the whimsy in all things and delight in it, even if by themselves (although I suppose the universe is smiling right alongside us). 💙

[@njoyn1909]

Beautiful video, I love it! I couldn’t agree more. After spending most of my life repressing my inner child, my life had become so gray, heavy and exhausting with responsibilities and work and long story short, my inner child reached out to me through my imagination and brought me back online to colour, magick and vibrancy again. Healing, joy and connection all started when I allowed myself to play with my inner child again💜🙏🏽

Knitting has saved my life❤thank you for your courage and videos ❤

[@thelastblackmage]

You explain what I've felt and done my whole life in such a great way. I refer to this as Ghibli-fying everything, all tasks whether awful or boring, turning mundane things and into something more magical. Thank you for this video. 💛

[@ExoticalHoney]

I relate to this so much. My inner world is filled with magic and wonder. I have to create whismy and joy in anything I can find in this world, in order to stay functional. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It feels nice to hear someone speaking about this and even more lovely to read all the comments here. We are marvelous, unique, rare souls ✨🌺💕

[@Lea-np8rs]

When i was a child i spent a lot of time outside. I was amazed by fairy tales and mystical things. Then i grew up and it felt like everything turned more gray and mundane. I'm living on my own now and i'm fighting to get the whimsy back. Nature, art, deep connections... thats what i need to thrive but i feel like its out if reach when i have to fulfil the need to function in the society. Household, working, grocery shopping, battling mental health struggles, fatigue... Slowly i'm on my way though. I spend more time outside, i listen to birds and trees again, i do more art and take more time for myself

[@kitsunehoruri]

You articulate very well what I myself have been feeling. It's nice knowing someone else seeks the magic of the world for peace and comfort.

[@catherineleslie-faye4302]

I volunteer at renaissance faires... to help others find whimsey on the weekends. My part time paying job is making and refurbishing garb for those who work faire... I am almost 63.

[@rayeasummers9455]

Life is about play. We're meant to expand our inner child not diminish it. I believe much of society works against this truth. We came for fun, and the children know it best. The one's who've forgotten are the one's who have the power to frame and influence society and those who keep that energy going putting their attention on them. In whimsy there's creativity, and healing, and expansion, and the ability to see the things so many do not see.

[@faerysoul]

[@HelloKittyGal16]

It’s just the magic of it all, that you want to breathe into that play. Rather keep it cute and precious like you have friends.

[@elisabethseeger5837]

I agree- these are damaging times Nature and art save me.

[@GeorginaNZ011]

Loved this and can relate so much. I had a time in my life, not too long ago where things were very hard but, fortunately I had access to a very wild, beautiful and secluded garden which became my very own whimsical haven. There I fell happily into day dreams and stories and was enchanted daily by the flowers I grew and the bees that came to visit them. I became familiar and friendly with the birds, following their cycles through the seasons. There was magic everywhere and it absolutely saved me in so many ways.

Your Art is beautiful ..

[@Amanita._.Verosa._.]

I like to look at the art of Charlie Mackasey (I think that's correct) whenever I crave whimsy. ❤ I'm glad you have your whimsy.❤ I've a collection if sketches and scribbles of my own whimsies that I never show anyone because it is like protecting your souI. There's undoubtedly beauty in the worId, when I create and whatever ugIiness I'll find I know of a secret place to counter it. It is my own Murphy's Door. A place inside me darkness can never touchh.

[@faerysoul]

So beautifully said! And it is important to keep precious things to yourself, too if it feels right!

[@jyamesLccas]

Yes!

[@Ransome1690]

Feels like a broadcast of my life all through this video, everything said is what i'm currently going through. Im in a very negative living situation that just feels inescapable, going through periods of depression where I just lay in bed all day and don't want to get up, Fear, anxiety, wanting to always shut myself off from society where i'm happy but society never truly leaves you alone. Constantly being reminded by the world that I need to earn money (a stupid piece of paper) if I ever want to change my situation so I have to do mundane boring crap like go on job hunts, fill out applications and buy "appropriate cloths" with money I already don't have just to interview for jobs that I may not even get, being exposed to other bad people in the process who just want to use you or see other's fail. I have come to find nothing but bad and evil in this life and there are so many days where I just want to exit this life☠ But the only thing that keeps me going is my love for art, namely surreal, fantasy and anime art. My channel was actually supposed to be a study channel just for that stuff and other nerd activities, but it ended up turning into an antinatalist channel about how much life sucks. IDK anymore, I really want to get back on track to getting better at art so I can start a proper youtube channel to hopefully get monetized, but practicing most days becomes so much of a test of willpower more than an enjoyment when you don't have happiness or inspiration to do so.

[@faerysoul]

I am so sorry to hear that. I hope there is a way for you to get support in any way? Like sometimes its hard to get up to therapy or even find any at all. But some countries have free hotlines that specify in talking to people who are struggeling. Maybe your country or area has that too? I wish you all the best!!!

[@blue_music_pot]

You seem like a nice person. I am an introvert and I have created a world of stories to which I escape from too much chaos. I even created my own playlists to return to music that calms me down and takes me to the land of dreams, and I saved them on my channel.

[@TheMuppyOtter]

I agree with you and am here to share the same message but I think you would still survive in this society without your ability to create, and I think you would survive or die trying if we were to lose our society. Not all of us are in the position to choose for ourselves, we should celebrate and assist those who are hustling to survive if we are somehow able to afford to maintain a whimsical lifestyle in this society, while hoping they can soon join us in our freedom to pursue our interests

[@faerysoul]

This wasn't a fancy lifestyle choice for me and thats not what I wanted to say. When I trained myself to think this way, I was in poverty, with undiagnosed autism, lots of trauma and little to no support at all and it was the only thing that helped me to keep going. And I totally agree with you that every human should be happy and thriving!

[@MagsArt]

"Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.” -Psalm 55:22 Little encouragement from the Word of God-the Holy Bible, if you are not with God yet at this moment of life, please, please seek Him, open your heart, mind, and your life for Him, because only with Jesus we can live forever, only through Him we may know the truth. “It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” -Deuteronomy 31:8 “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” -Psalm 27:1 Romans 10:9-10 New Living Translation (NLT)If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.

Ah yes, me too, my interests are also considered childish

[@VisitorOfDreamlands]

For me is Art and cats... Im INFP so we are known for having truble to get by with life and society in general.. I have few diamond firends and that's also get me by... But it's hard to stay positive and empathetic in a society where profit and popularity is the main goal and all of the rest is weakness... I wonder how will they feel when they get old. When profit, looks, intelligence and even memory go away. Then, at final moments, you only have relationships and only hope for kindness because you became unprofitable and burden, dependent on others... So be kind ❤ That's only you will have...

[@underated17]

People can be very beautiful and private and not necessarily well known. People know that many aspects of popularity are fake, and the only thing someone remembers is how they make them feel. Your presence how you make people feel and your persona matter. People know the price of everything but the value of nothing.

I feel you touched very lightly on this i would like to know more, how did it facilitate "getting you out" more details pls .. i am trying to find a sweet spot between same as you have called whimsy and not "spiritual bypassing" in important matters such as gaza or sewage in uk waters. I get really frustrated when i see people just "burying their head as the world crashes and burns" so to speak.. i find this almost impossible im really having a hard time currently with this world, but I cannot abandon it or it's people .. I don't know I'm 52 and this is possibly one of my hardest times 🍄

[@FG-ie7cu]

"It is one of the evils of rapid diffusion of news that the sorrows of all the world come to us every morning. I think each village was meant to feel pity for its own sick and poor whom it can help and I doubt if it is the duty of any private person to fix his mind on ills which he cannot help. (This may even become an escape from the works of charity we really can do to those we know). A great many people do now seem think that the mere state of being worried is in itself meritorious. I don’t think it is. We must, if it so happens, give our lives for others: but even while we’re doing it, I think we’re meant to enjoy Our Lord and, in Him, our friends, our food, our sleep, your jokes, and the birds' song and the frosty sunrise.” He says elsewhere, that before the radio (news), we had about the amount of stress that we could handle; that we are not made to be able to handle the troubles of the entire world that now come to us through technology. (C. S. Lewis)

@@Divinefemininemiracles I do hear you, but I do not hold with the idea that any of us could be like them if we just tried a little harder. They are Saints--Mag 1 stars--sent into this world on purpose to make a large-scale difference. I do not hold with the idea that anyone can be anything: we have to be what we are, the best version of what we are. The entire thing we grew up with: anyone could be president, ceo, etc. . . . is just not true. These people have specific gift-sets that are tailored toward those roles. It's kind of a relief to say, "Why am I not like Ghandi?" and to answer oneself, "It's because I'm not Ghandi."

It is possible to increase whimsy in those whose lives we touch

[@thomasg627]

A lot of people do something similar in one or another way. The world nowadays has so many things in it that one really wishes wouldn't exist and most people cannot handle the reality as it is, at least not all of it all the time. I myself am no exception there, even though my treshold may be much higher than yours, there are things I have to ignore at least sometimes. What triggers it may be different things, what we use as distraction may be different things, but the reason is pretty much the same for all of us. Consider yourself lucky you find distraction in something as harmless, even beautiful, as whimsy, it could be much worse. If you'd like to know, for me personally my distraction is watching loads of romatic movies and series, preferrably with as little drama as possible.
