12.5.22 // The Insatiably Curious Club
The Insatiably Curious Club.
.
I'm starting a club, and I'd like to formally invite you to join me...
.
This group, community, or collective is not a cool kids club, it is an everyone club.
.
It is a group that leads with curiosity, not with answers. It is a group of shamelessly vulnerable humans. It is a group that wants to learn about the world but never expects to reach definitive conclusions because to know something is to stop showing curiosity in its ever-changing state. It is a group that is truthfully human in its creation and even its expression, which means it's flawed, messy, and also epically beautiful.
.
How I had originally planned to launch the "club" was on the Patagonia, Argentina trip that I just canceled. I had hoped to have the adventurous souls who joined me there be the initial members and for it to be the inaugural kickoff. But, alas.
.
With the trip's failure, I can't help but wonder if maybe I was meant to launch the club first. To start wide and less exclusive, exclusivity is NOT a principle of this project.
.
To be insatiably curious isn't to be a world traveler (it could be), or any "specific" thing... it is just leading a life with the principle of curiosity. It is how we spend our few precious days, from asking deeper and harder questions to friends, lovers, or strangers, to doing small things that scare us, and traveling down the unknown road, to failing, falling, and fucking up.
.
If you'd like to join, you should know I'm doing this all backward. I created some Insatiably Curious Club gear (links in my bio)- because I had planned to give all my Patagonia participants shirts, and I only just recently made the IG handle (which who knows, I may never use... or maybe I will! And I'll create a website). But again, this club is for the beautifully flawed human humans.
.
This club doesn't have annual meetings. It is a collective willing to live curiously, to live openly, to live life in their own uniquely beautiful ways. And maybe one day we will have meetings too ;).
.
So maybe grab a t-shirt or a sweatshirt, maybe take a backroad, or chat with the cute stranger at the coffee shop because you're insatiable curious today. If you say you're in the club, then by damn, you're in it.
