“Be all about everything.” Is this grammatically correct? [closed]

Would that phrase be appropriate to express that I want to immerse myself in being in the moment, in everything that I have been focusing on.

Solution 1:

As noted, the phrase is fine, though it would need more context to make its point clear, and "I'm into" might convey your point better. I think what you're looking for is either a paradox or an intentional redundancy for emphasis.

"All about" implies heightened interest in something; you're "about" one thing more than other things (Meghan Trainor is all about "that bass," to the complete exclusion of treble). You mention that your subject is "everything I have been focusing on"; this narrows your range from a universal, global "everything" to mean everything within a defined set, so your meaning would be clear if you also provided this set (Eiffel 65 is perhaps all about everything blue). Of course, to say that you have special focus on the area of your special focus is a tautology. Perhaps that's intentional, for emphasis; you're all about everything that you're all about.

On the other hand, you mention that you want to "immerse yourself in being in the moment." This suggests a universal one-ness that truly encompasses "everything," at least everything within the compass of "the moment." This seems like a contradiction—you have a special, heightened interest in... all things equally? But perhaps the contradiction is intentional, a paradox. Yes, your are "all about everything" and its universality.

However, there's a similar idiomatic construction that's more often used: "I'm into everything." This is still often used within a contextual subset, but indicates a broadening of that subset: "Do you like rock music or country?" "Aw man, I'm into everything." Perhaps this is used more often because it indicates some degree of interest, rather than exclusive focus (all about that X, 'bout that X, no Y). "I'm into" could also serve you well if your intent is to emphasize the limits of your focus using redundancy for emphasis: "I'm into what I'm into."
