Apologies if this is a repeat post. I’m not as avid of a Lemmy user as most, probably.

Someone not long ago asked what makes people unreasonably unhappy or angry. I wanted to flip that over and see what people are looking forward to?

No really topic here, just sharing, uplifting and learning. Maybe a post like this could help spark an interest in something for someone else.

Me? Other than watching my family grow and me growing along with them, I would have to say I’m excited about learning.

More specifically, recent life has made it relevant for me to learn about solar off-grid systems. Though I know I have a lot of learning to do, I look forward to putting the knowledge to practice sometime in the near future.

How about you?

    Not much. I differentiate between “interested” and “exited”.

    I’ve been disapponted too many times to get excited for much.

    I’m interested in seeing how Peacemaker season 2 turns out. I’m interested in finally being able to sit down with the graphic novel “These Savage Shores”.

    I’m interested in seeing what all the fuss about “Infinite Jest” is about. Picked it up and a reading guide, but I haven’t cracked either yet.

    Excited? Eh…

      I understand what you mean by excited vs. Interested.

      Each time I had gotten disappointed by things in the distant past, I sort of withdrew a little more from excitement bit by bit until the world was kinda grey.

      Please be careful with that feeling.

      It can go from being resistant to excitement, to feeling undeserving of it without even really noticing of the change. I hope you find things to be genuinely excited for soon.

      On a lighter note, I’m going to have to checkout peacemaker I guess!
