university has damn near killed reading as a hobby for me - i thank my art history professors who gave us 80 double sided pdfs in the most unintelligible font ever, it was just not fun ;; i've tried so many times to pick up reading again and again, but my brain now connects the act of reading to getting work done so heavily that sometimes it's impossible to even take the first step and open a book. that doesn't stop me from having a stack of unread books that keeps growing though lol anyway!! you got this!! we all do!!!
this is such a comforting post and so many of the things you write here resonated with me for sure. it's always the push-pull of expectations and desire and grounding yourself back to reality and comforting yourself that things are fine! and i'm glad you can find that within yourself as well~
Like you said, it is comforting to hear from other creatives that we go through the same struggles during the process, and that includes this post. 🥺 I have also come to terms with the fact that I should not obsess over the concept of productivity, even in other fields.
