How did you discover Taoism? (pawb.social)

Hello, everyone! I'd like to introduce myself and also ask how you all started your Taoist journey.

I'm a college student studying Communication, so I have a natural curiosity as a student and a young person to learn about new languages, religions, and philosophies! I found out about Taoism because I wanted to create a new online community based on my favorite dreamy, psychedelic music. I came up with a theme of a dojo where musicians and fans could come and grow their skills. When researching about dojos, I came across resources about Taoism and Zen, and it really resonated with me!

All my life, I've felt so connected to nature and the universe, so the concept of the Tao, duality, and meditating instantly made sense to me. Now, I'm halfway through reading the Tao Te Ching!

How did you discover Taoism? Let me know!

I read a copy of the Tao Te Ching and it spoke to me.
