Today I realized I'd been pushing myself very hard this month for nothing.
Sometimes I still fall for the idea that if I just work harder, try to get more done, try to build a space for myself in a world of few options, something will eventually give.
It's the wrong mentality. The Western aspirational-middle-class mentality.
We show up every day. Sometimes luck does too. That's it.
Burnout helps no one at all.
So take good care of yourselves eh? 💙 I'm going to try to do the same in July.
@MLClark Sometimes it's for nothing on paper, but a while later you'll see what you built from it, consciously or not, even if what you get from it is just more knowledge about why burnout is not the way.
Either way... bring it on, July!
