A List of Somethings
Who knows how this goes š¤·āāļøš§
For better or worse, hereās the list that I have of āsomethingsā in our way.
1. The thing about money is it comes and goes. Even the best effort may mean you still donāt control it. So it could be treated differently. Thatās something.
2. The supposed ālack of time.ā Maybe itās not about waiting to have enough time to do somethingā¦ but actually about not doing stupid things with your time. Because (without stupid things) we then have the time back that we thought we were missing. Thatās something.
Well, would we be stupidly engagingā¦ or just escapist? Escapism is better, I think.
3. The loss of connection ā the loss of innocence. Weāre all dealing with that. Dealing with it ā on different days, in different ways.
4. Thenā¦ that feeling thatās something else in particular. That feeling that weāre missing something.
Ok, well thereās a fine line between being ambitiousā¦ and falling for something.

Jumped into this one because the title caught my eye...oftentimes i find 'escape' in making lists...this idea of the fine line between nothing and something was nice to be reminded of this morning. Thanks for sharing and look forward to reading more of your writing.
I battle with the loss of connection on a daily basis.
