Overcoming Overwhelm-ness

Something is clouding my head, and it’s you!

Doubts about my ability and being able to reach goals have clouded my head and made me procrastinate by telling myself that I’m not a great writer anyway so why bother?

Because I love it, damnit.

I love writing. When I get in the zone (like I am now) I feel this adrenaline rush as my fingers glide against the keyboard effortlessly. My 7th-grade technology teacher would be so proud, I’m finally typing without looking. How’s that Mr. Hope? Do I pass now? Of course not, my GarageBand movie wasn’t that great. It’s just five minutes of my cats eating their food to ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’.

I get in the zone and I am finally in the present moment. Because that’s what I’ve been missing is living in the moment. Realizing that I don’t have to be writing my novel at every waking moment. And that my articles I write online don’t have to be people-pleasers. I don’t have to please you, person reading this! Only myself.

Fuck all the rules!

Uproot some tables!

Okay, I’m done now.

I mean luckily I don’t do this for the money, so I can make a mess wherever I want. Over here, over there, AND on auntie’s nice vase.
