Pale blue skies rested on my eyes. Never-ending sea breezes carried my worries away with them. The salt air left hints of saltiness on my lips.

I fell asleep to the lazy waves that hugged the shore as the fine sand found shelter between my toes.

There wasn't a thought about my career, money, where to go next, or what I could’ve been doing to be more productive. I was merely existing. One breath on this breathtaking beach at a time.

As a creator, there is this unspoken weight on our shoulders that we ought to press our feet on the accelerator and keep producing content, one after another, for as long as possible, in the name of consistency.

We only ever take breaks when our bodies tell us to.

I’ve been there. It isn’t pretty for both mental and physical health.

Although it took a while to overhaul my approach toward this career, it’s so much healthier than before.
