meeting expectations and being a kid
K: What expectations did you have for the purpose breakfast beforehand?
F: I did think it would be more discuss-ey, in general, like views on life and stuff like that. But it wasn’t really that, it was more maybe in my head more formal. Asking for example “So what are your aspirations in life?“, something like that.
K: Was there something you particularly liked or enjoyed?
F: I really like that you had the prompts, the question jars. That was a good invitation to dig deeper. I don’t know, I like big questions and to discuss things like that. So going into the purpose breakfast I think is something that triggers that is just fun for me.
K: We link the breakfast with the topic of ‘Purpose, how was this for you?
F: the fact that it’s so free is cool. Maybe that’s why the (question) cards or games are nice, it’s like you don’t have to partake in it but to partake is like an invitation to discuss purpose more, in depth. And I guess the breakfast already did that, there was something hanging there which asked questions and on the laptop [it said] ‘What’s your favourite music and why?’ - there were already things initiating the conversation around purpose.
K: Are there any experiences or insights that you will take with you as lessons in life from the meetup?
F: Yeah I guess that, to explore more. I really like this idea of a puppy in my head - every time you take a puppy out it starts sniffing everything and looking around, it’s going around places, even if they’re on a leash. It’s because they’re so curious and then you could parallel this with people easily I think. What the owner of the dog is doing is “No, stay with me”, and they’re pulling the leash, roughly, and you’re punishing the dog for being curious, which is like the most horrible thing you could do I think. Yeah, I wanna be like that puppy.
K: Did you feel like a puppy exploring during the event?
F: The building was really interesting so I did feel like exploring that. So, in that sense, yes.
K: How did you feel about the event?
F: It was such a nice environment and it felt really a place outside of society. Like there didn’t have to be anything on your mind.
