Rediscovering Fun and Purpose in Adult Life

In a fast-paced world, adults often prioritize work over joy, leaving little room for fun and personal happiness. This initiative challenges the norm, urging individuals to reclaim their time for enjoyment, creativity, and community engagement. Hear from various voices—students, professionals, and caregivers—who yearn for balance in their lives. Imagine dedicating a few years to fulfilling passions and meaningful projects alongside conventional jobs. Inspired by leaders like Desmond Tutu, this vision encourages us to unite communities and prioritize well-being through fun, socialization, and self-care.

  1. Re-fun-ution: Get it started! by Team Tsambur: Lyuba Guerassimova

  2. Fun Work: Could that Be? We work, and work, and work… ….We are adults and have to take care of our family… ……….We have no time for ourselves, no time to ask questions, we just have to get the work done, get the money, buy food and clothes… What happened to happiness?

  3. …what fun have you had recently? I won’t go to PE class, only losers to this, I have to go the mall to get the cute earrings I like so much. (Viki, student) I wish I choreographer would be my only job, so I would have time to come up with great creative dances. (Maria, dance instructor) My back has been hurting for years, and I wish I could have more time to go hiking and heal it. (Ventsi, architect) There is no time for fun for me, I just want my children to be happy. (Pepi, cleaning lady) I have enough fun in my life: I am constantly in contact with people, and I love it when they smile. (Ana, doctor)

  4. Envision Dreamland Work 3-5 years at your regular job & have 1-2 years for yourself, for fun projects, for community work! Feel better, healthier, happier! Help others and help yourself! Engage, socialize, be compassionate and give a purpose to what you do! Have a nap, a dance class, do some pottery, and go for a hike! Read a book in quiet, meet fun people! What’s the catch? Nothing; I’m just letting you know what future you could live in. If you would like that.

  5. …is what Desmond Tutu told us at an international student festival, and it is what I am doing. He is one of the most inspiring and wise people I have ever seen, and if he could only answer this, I could dream on: How can I unite tribes of communities, businesses, and institutions around a value for the sake of my idea, just as you were able to unite South Africans for reconciliation? DRRREAM! Kiva founder Jessica Jackley and tribes specialist David Logan will be another simultaneous goal for my interview, and I would attempt to reach each three of them through organizations they were in contact with, as well as their own organizational websites.
