Hey, I Had A Couple Difficult Days (headaches, Sensory Overload, Mini Meltdown) So I Paused The Productivity

Hey, I had a couple difficult days (headaches, sensory overload, mini meltdown) so I paused the productivity challenge and everything else while trying to recover but I'll probably post again tomorrow (properly). Anyway, take care y'all and have the best day you can 💚🤎

( I don't remember what day I'm on but I'm also too stubborn to begin again so I'll add it when I figure it out)

I had a really nice morning. I got a new piercing and I don't know about you but ,for me, piercings are an almost meditative experience. I really enjoy the entire process. Then I went to one of my favorite bookstores and bought a couple of pens and highlithers, which got me really excited to take notes. I don't know how long the excitement will last, but I suppose I can always go and buy more pens. After, I went to my favorite café and spent some time drinking a gorgeous iced latte and reading ( I'm currently reading Dance Dance Dance and honestly, I haven't formed an opinion yet).

When I came home, I spent an hour (total) studying spanish grammar and while it wasn't much, it was also the most productive I've managed to be in a while so I'll take the win.

In the evening we had a family gathering at my grandma's to celebrate her birthday and we ordered take out and even video called an uncle of mine that I haven't seen in years.

I hate how long recovering from burnout can take, but I'm trying and , honestly, I'm doing so much better than I was even six months ago, and that's what matters.

Ps. I also started learning how to write in cursive and it's been fun (and surprisingly difficult)

I started reading The Once & Future Witches in Spanish today and it's very challenging and will probably take me a month to finish, but also I'm so excited that I've reached a point where I can understand a lot of it.

Some relatives came over today and they asked me about acting and I was reminded why I love it so much. It made me want to work so much harder to achieve my goals. (Said goals being slightly unclear right now, what with me finishing acting school soon and having no idea how to find an internship.)

We are capable of big lives. A big history. Why settle? Why choose the practical thing, the mundane thing? We are born to dream and make the things we dream about.
