When I feel completely frozen, I can always prove myself wrong. The smallest motion is enough to prove that I’m not frozen.
Even if I don’t get everything done… a little at a time is better than nothing. It is so much easier to get things done after I’ve started working on them.
I can do just about anything for two minutes.
Sometimes it is necessary to stand outside in the cold for a moment, to take a hot shower, to listen to music and dance and sing along, to take a turn around the room.
Grounding myself in my body might not actually be as helpful as using my brain for something that is comforting. A book is a wonderful escape.
It is okay to rest.
One day, I’ll get to tell the stories about these moments, and it’s up to me to decide how those stories are going to go.
So if I’m going to work on a thing, I might as well do the best that I can to make it into something amazing. Purely for the sake of collecting quality storytelling material.
It sounds like work, but in the words of an excellent storyteller – it is my life’s work.
A friend said that I have something to add to this world that nobody else does, and the world would miss that something it if wasn’t there. I don’t know what that is yet.
There is only one way to find out.
…I think it begins with the first two minutes of this godforsaken pile of homework.
This is fine.
Hope it’s a good night.
