#78 The good that grows from the horror

+ a new creative endeavor, + links

Hi friends,

I haven’t written for the past month because I’ve been struggling quite hard with what my role is in this world, and whether the best use of my life and time is to write, or write what I write about. Much of what I do and how I spend my time feels pointless in the face of what’s happening in the world, and while I don’t actually believe it’s pointless (and perhaps, more necessary than before), I’m definitely in a process. I’m equally in awe of those that have continued to do their jobs as if nothing has shifted, as much as I am of those who have changed their lives entirely, as much as I am of those who are managing some kind of other balance, and I’m in awe because I personally just feel stuck, and torn between wondering whether the most responsible thing I could do is something else entirely, or whether the most responsible thing I could do is work through whatever it is that makes me feel like never writing another word again.

Because of that, I started a little side pro…
