Recently, I have felt sapped of all creative energy. Not only haven't I written in my blog, but I haven't continued either of the two stories I am currently in the middle of writing either. There is a fog hovering over my my brain making movement, i.e. thinking, useless. I am exhausted when I wake up. I am exhausted when I go to sleep. Often, I am exhausted between the two. Something about fluorescent lighting, harshly painted white walls, and the constant glare of a computer screen do not work together in my favor.
I am lucky to have everything that I do, but there is so much more that I want, more that I expect from myself. Something doesn't have to be hard to fulfilling, I don't believe that. Somehow though, it has to hold your interest. If you are doing something repetitive and completely monotonous, you are either a boring person, or don't see yourself equipped to do something better. There is of course the other option of having no other choice in the matter.
Truth: a job is not who you are or what you're worth, it's what you do. It's hard to remember that sometimes.
I wrote this on October 27th and never published it. Here tis.
