I’m Going Back to Basics

Why I’m taking a step back

Lately, I’ve been off.

A few things have sent me into a turmoil of sorts. Nothing dramatic. Okay that sounds a little dramatic. It’s nothing really just for a little while I lost my flow.

I started to question things that I did automatically. Got frustrated at the things I’d usually brush off. I’d grow tired of ideas that usually would fuel me. I thought I didn’t know why but I think I do.

I think I got wrapped up in the ‘big idea’ rather than grounded in reality. All the while forgetting to remember to reflect on the things I have and appreciate where I am.

It happens.

Going back to the drawing board, back to what I know

And times like this I know I need to go back to basics. I had a good pulse on this stuff before. A year ago, I would write, work, build my life and be conscious that there was no big goal or ‘thing’ I was aiming for.

I wasn’t shooting for numbers, I was just shooting to learn. I wasn’t churning content, rather I was writing for me. For my well-being.

That’s why I’ve always written on the internet.

For years I held feelings close to my chest because I had no outlet. Honestly…
