Lost and found.

Dear Self,

A year ago, I lost you.

I went away on a residential retreat (the Future Makers Fellowship) and for a few days I didn’t write this daily letter to you.

And here I am again.

This time I am at the start of the retreat and I am pretty confident I won’t lose you again this year. I have a plan. A taking care of myself plan. And writing to you every day is a big part of that.

A year.

I kind of can’t believe it has only been a year.

My life has changed a lot in that year. From the outside things may not look that different but my experience of my life is very different.

I see that my circle of friends are nearby and I feel closer to them.

I am making my art and sharing it with the world. Even though I have lots of questions about it I am doing it.

So, what do I want for next year?

I’d like to build upon all of this and find ways to give back a little more specifically to the world. I think it is something around mental health.

I’d like to be earning my living a little more from the creative things I make.

That’s plenty.

Love

Luke.
