Dear Human 💕,

You say you want your life to be interesting. Then, be curious!

Be curious about yourself.

Who are you? Get to know yourself (again). Explore who you really are and be honest with yourself. Forget about what others expect of you and what you think you should be. Keep an eye on yourself, the way I keep an eye on you.

What do you feel, think, need, and want?

Be curious where it’s coming from. And remember, don’t believe everything you think. Human brains are often wrong.

The better you know yourself, the more you can live a life that’s really yours.

Be curious about other humans.

I know humans can be scary and annoying. Try to understand them. Every human ticks differently. What are they all about and what’s important to them?

What do they feel, think, need, and want?

Be curious about their world and how they see things. When in doubt, don’t guess or assume you know.  Human brains like to jump to conclusions and again brains are often wrong. Instead, talk to the human. Ask them questions. And listen to understand. You will get along much better with other humans.

Maybe even go out and meet some new humans. I remain unconvinced about the one visiting right now and I will stay under the sofa until they are gone.

Be curious about the world.

Try something new, anything really. It doesn’t have to be spectacular. There’s no need to jump out of a perfectly fine plane.

Here are some ideas:

🐾 Try some new food (as long as it’s dead), or check out a new restaurant. I heard there’s one that sells fancy tinned seafood that you meant to try, so don’t forget to bring me some leftovers.

🐾 Check out some art. A museum or just a single exhibit. A play. A comedy show. Some music you’d usually not pick.

🐾 Learn something. Read a book, watch a documentary or some YouTube videos. Cat videos don’t count.

🐾 Learn to do something new. A sport, a language, or making something with your paws. Maybe take a class or join a workshop. And yes, you will probably be bad at it at first. No importa, mientras tu estas divertiendo. See? Bad at it. But I had fun.

🐾 See the world! Explore a new neighborhood, park, city, or country. But don’t be away from home too much. Oh, and consider going with a friend, or by yourself, so the other human stays home.

Be curious about the future.

Humans come up with a lot of “What if…” and get puffy tails. You can’t predict the future. It could go horribly wrong, or turn out great. So instead of scaring yourself, wonder. Let’s see how it goes.

Get out of your comfort zone!

Be prepared to not like what you discover, or to be bad at something you try. Canned fish might not be for you. 

Even if some of it is scary at first, the more you explore and the more you dare, the more exciting life will be.

Yours,
Cat 🐾

P.S.  I know curiosity killed the cat. So, be careful what you walk into. If a human says “Don’t go in there,” think about it first.
