UNWHIMSICAL



What is Unwhimsical?

Unwhimsical is my version of unf*cking yourself. This space is where I, my friends, people I find interesting, and now you, get to unpack the ways in which our whimsy has been systematically repressed because we’ve had to be serious to survive— we are the Unwhimsical, collectively. With no room for error or failure, fun for the sake of fun has probably always felt risky. But this community is more than commiserating. We have the community so that others can witness the space we are clearing in our self-concepts and ways of being to make room for joy. Others in the community will share how they are liberating themselves to help you do the same, thank the parts of ourselves that formed to protect us from pain and instability, shine a bright ass light on the new empty canvas created from releasing those parts, and then — we fill it with joy.

We chase every whim here: every question we might be too embarrassed to ask or admit we don’t know, every childlike desire, every weird girl hobby, all the crafts and impulse purchases, and difficult conversations — everything that scares us. Unwhimsical is everything from a talk show to a therapy session.
