Personal post alert šØ
In the year since Iāve been posting here, a lot of Life has happened.
Mainly, I lost my dad. I took it really hard and doing anything other than try to sleep, eat, and drink enough water was out of the question for a while.
The year also brought:
š¦µmy second knee surgery and full recovery
š a five-month leave from work to focus on my wellbeing
š¤ a new role at work when I returned
š¦“a puppy
š a girlfriend-to-fiancĆ©e upgrade
Now, life is finally settling and Iāve been following the creative itch again. Itās never too late to start and restart again.
My perfectionism kept me from getting active here again because the longer it had been, the more I felt like I had to come back ābigger and betterā than ever. But thatās a lie we tell ourselves when weāre anxious, intimidated, or otherwise facing negative feelings and uncertainty.
So I decided to just start again. If this resonates with you, know that itās ok for life to take you elsewhere for a while. Itās ok to rest and heal however you see fit. Itās ok to not adhere to the rigid Social Media Rules of how many posts you should be creating, how many accounts to connect with, etc.
You do you, my friend! š¤
