There will always be reasons to not do something. Our impulses will most likely even tell us we shouldn’t even consider it.
We do it anyway when we want to make progress. Sneaking a toe over the line into the game is easy when we are not solely focussed upon winning the championship.
If you can keep it simple (not have to box it up into an editorial project and memoir for example) and enjoy the process, much of the rest has a way of taking care of itself.
I will repeat insensitively to stop taking yourself so seriously (as I constantly tell myself) and keep it light.
“I am just making time to touch base with friends I have lost direct connection with for 1 reason or another.” Open-ended question.
It is as much about them as it is you and some won’t be in the right place to reconnect. Don’t let it deter what you are going to do.
Our connections with other organisms in the universe, friends, plants, cats, is our only real purpose for existing. So have fun existing!
Yeah, I plan to keep it real simple and just take somenotes for things that stick out in a notebook or in a Word document or something. Nothing fancy. Nope, not taking myself too seriously at all, just sharing my usual daily and weird thoughts and reflections. My "demon" is what wants me to take myself seriously.
You and me both brother.
