wow Cody, resonating so deeply with this, it's a sharp time for us collectively. i cried so many times this past week, feeling tight and untethered. old wounds, worries, and unease gripping my heart. my morning pages reflect a knowing and understanding, a desire for fresh perspective, but it is hard to keep hold of it during the day. sending you gentle waves of loving compassion, may we all find new forms to break into <3
Thank you for this. I'm feeling this way too. I come up with an idea for a new offering, and then before I can even finish writing notes about it, I start deflating like a balloon. It's partially marketing fatigue, like you said, and also a particular fatigue of a rut, of thinking, "I can only do these three things" and I have a feeling if I fully let go, I'll fall into 1000 more new ways I can be in the world and make money. The balance between that feeling of "always hustle" and "continue being soft" is exhausting.
samuel beckett’s brilliant line “fail again. fail better” is my life’s motto. really, i should have it tattooed on my arm, except that it is a constant song in the back of my mind, so no fear of forgetting. sending love and a little tenderness for yourself
I've only made it through the first paragraph and feel so seen. You are not alone and I cannot wait to keep reading. I just needed you to know, that first paragraph was everything I needed this morning as a mom working from home during the summer months. I wouldn't change a thing but damn it's so hard sometimes to be a creative but not have the mental space to just be...
I have also listened to that song on repeat until I cried.
It really does the trick
