Treading water
I feel like at the moment I am just keeping my head above the water. It seems like it is crashing all around trying to make me drown but lucky I have a good support system. Katie and I are struggling a bit to keep a positive headspace with the world going the direction it is. Makes it tough to be a creative, hell it makes it tough to be anyone lately but feels like the world’s weight is sitting right on our shoulders. We are trying to keep going and keep our heads up but it isn’t an easy task. I write this today just to get all these thoughts out of my head because I am done with being filled with dread. (I am quite a poet today)
I have been writing each day through the month, like I said before but today has just been a tough day, Poetry can be an escape but sometimes I get lost in my own head worrying about “does it rhyme” or “does it make sense.” When really I should just be writing to get all the feelings out, that’s what I am using today’s blog for. A little stream of consciousness for you all to read and maybe relate to it a bit as well. Katie had some tough news today and is attempting to process it. Tariffs are hitting her business a little harder than she thought they would and she’s worried. I won’t go into ALL of the anxieties she’s going through, you can ask her that yourself. This is MY workbook and not hers but still I feel some of her pain. I’m wondering if I need to curb back my ideas and not give her so many. So instead of just telling her all of them, I’ve decided I am going to keep better track of them.
In case you didn’t know, I don’t have the best organizational system (It might just be a lot of post-it notes). I tend to lose quite a few of the ideas even after writing them down on pieces of paper. I am working on a better system, maybe a binder, that would be fun. What are some of your ways of keeping yourself organized? I would love some advice especially so I don’t lose any important ones or recipes. Well, I should get back to work! Let me know if you have any ideas!
