Drafting saves me from chronically over sharing

i probably shouldn’t do this. i definitely shouldn’t, actually. i do it anyway. i write a substack piece all in one go then i take a breath and hit ‘post’ before i give myself the time to read it over. i think if i didn’t do this i would never post anything cuz i’d be stuck in an endless loop of redrafting.
writing to get it out into the world is enough of an intention for me. if i were to be any more careful in my practice i doubt anything would get written at all.

exploring creative pursuits can lead to overly precious and sensitive thinking about the things you make!!! might just be me but oh well. Sharing works in progress with trusted people who get it can help lessen the fear of slamming post and can generate useful feedback. win-win! 😃👍

Believing the rest of your life can start today (but not succumbing to the weight of that, which I’ve yet to figure out how to do).

I love being a barista because it is so fun to not pay for coffee and taste horrifying extractions and bizarre customer creations (extra sweet caramel single shot breve iced) and take home what we can’t sell to customers. Behold the darkness of week old cold brew concentrate! A true depth of darkness only understood in certain light, black as midnight on a moonless night! Yum yum can’t wait have it with breakfast and feel each blood vessel moving through every artery!

I don’t know if this applies to everyone as we seem to be peak hustle culture to survive the gig economy but I have a lot of free time, so much free time it’s overwhelming, that I pander in all sorts of unhelpful ways. Just saw something about someone who makes exquisite jewelry in their free time, it not being their day job, and am having a long hard think about how tired I really am when I claim to be too tired to work on the thing I claim to want to do…I also think about kids my age getting married and who may start having kids in the next few years (aside from the ones who already have) and how much of a time drain that is and how some day I’ll probably look back on this point and think I was swimming in time. Would probably help to start on the phone addiction first…Sometimes I think it’s possible I’m not as tired as I am, like focusing on how tired I am, trying to measure exactly how heavy my bones feel, only amplifies my tiredness into perceived exhaustion and maybe if I didn’t think about it so much it wouldn’t be as real as I let it, like the cold in winter.
