I too inherited “The thing where you have forty-seven ideas before breakfast and abandon thirty of them by lunch. The thing where you work in furious, obsessive bursts that scare the people who love you, and then go completely silent for weeks and convince yourself you’ll never make anything good again.”

I loved this so much! So beautiful. This part really made me chuckle cos seriously how can anyone parallel park?😂

I’ve just spent the day wandering around craft shops, then sat down to enjoy a cup of tea, only to feel a little sprinkle of “work guilt” from not opening my laptop once. Of course, this was the first piece I saw when I picked up my phone🥹🤍
