#52: The most taboo thing in 2026

The most taboo thing a person can do in 2026 is have an experience and not tell anyone about it. Simple. This means that one would live an hour, a slow Sunday afternoon, have great coffee at home, take pictures with visiting parents, get on a long call with your dadi, and not let it become content. These lived moments do not need to become something except the actual thing it was. The lived moment doesn't need to be 'repurposed.'

I know a lot of people around me who already do this. And then a some who don't do this. Become the kind of person who can have something happen and not tell anyone.
