Losing Self

It's been a long time coming, and I know I'm capable of creating great things. My website has reflected that. I know that perseverance is much needed, but there are times where I just don't feel like picking up my tools to create new content.

Sometimes, I just feel like I've done everything. I've written about everything and I can't find topics that fit my niche (I know there's so many things to talk about), I'm just not feeling motivated enough to keep doing the work. My anxiety is aiming for me to hurry up and create something, while my depression is like "nah you've done enough. let it be".

What I'm trying to say here is that, it's really hard sometimes to stay motivated or even do your diligent work of researching, analyzing, and planning. At times it seems like it's too much for a mentally ill brain to produce something that I'm unsure if it's worthy of even trying. I'm an over-thinker and that can be quite dangerous at times.

This is just a thought and a personal current feeling that I'm struggling with. I hope y'all are doing alright 🦋✨
