But to answer the million-dollar question of “How are you, really?”
- I am feeling fairly neutral to the way at which I’m carrying out my weekdays and weekends. I don’t hate work and usually have a decent time, but am getting disillusioned at the cycle of sorting emails + drawing arbitrary charts → oversleep + eat something nice + do some grocery shopping.
- Despite the name of my newsletter, I don’t do very much paper journaling nowadays and perhaps that’s why there are unnamed worried scouring around in my head. They are, broadly speaking, related to: future, career, relationships, the alignment of what I want right now and the environment I am in. There is a part of me who’s worried of what I’ll find out if I were to actually write things down.
- Still, I endeavour to be positive, encouraging, and well-documenting of my story which is the fundamental purpose of this newsletter and underpins what I’ll be writing about this month — so really, I appreciate y’all here, and especially more so for reading in and checking in on my now page :)
