Boy, I feel this part SO DEEPLY: “you feel like maybe you have gone past the point of no return. You’ve squashed any kind of creative potential. You’ve dampened the energy. All you’re left with is rampant time for overthinking and obsessing about all the projects that you’re not working on.”

So glad that landed. Was really feeling that in this situation I know the only way to get over that feeling is to just sit down and work on said project, but when you don’t have the energy or wherewithal to do that, then I don’t know whah the solution is!

This reminded me of the sadness I felt four years ago when devastating wildfires and smoke filled skies took much of the magic of September from us in Oregon. Makes me more grateful when fall feels like fall!

Oh I remember that fall. Have a lot of depressing sky photos on my phone from then. But agreed: makes you all the more ready to savor the season.
