At the point in my life where I always wanted to be, but now feeling stuck in a stagnancy because I’m not sure what to do next.
I’m holding myself back, but I don’t know from what.

There’s something I feel like I’m chasing all the time. I catch glimpses of it when I’m relaxing in nature or when I’m with friends. Like the desire to settle but I just can’t.

I have the worst fear of staying in one place for too long (both literally & metaphorically) but I think what’s even more dangerous than that is the desire to stay in that rut forever even though it’s not serving you !! That happens to me because I’m so scared of failing or to be seen trying for something but not reaching it in the end.
I am feeling so inspired after coming home from a concert & I am allowing myself to bask in that sense of renewal !! Like wow it’s okay that I want to write again despite not doing so for months now! It’s okay that I’m getting into photography again after not honouring my commitment to practise it in the past few months! I am learning more and more from personal experience + observation that some doors only open at the right time and there are times when the right thing to do is to actively pursue something, while there are times when we have to sit still + wait and see

whatever is holding you and feeding you creatively!
I think we have such a different idea now of what careers can look like and we’re no longer held to the “be at one job for 40 years” mentality. Which is equally freeing and terrifying.
But i think you keep feeding that part of yourself until it feels like you shouldn’t move on or feel there’s more to explore in one area. I realize this isn’t an exact rec but im feeling this too and am finding that the reframe is helpful for the freefalling feeling.

I think I’m not a very good friend, but I’m not sure how to fix my behavior. I just keep getting in my own way.

New novel by Rachel Cusk—sharp, insightful, surprising. Finished this one over a week ago, and I’m still unpacking all the ground she covered here… One of our best living writers
