26. Sometimes I need time away


Sometimes I need time away

From it all.

x Noise

x Distractions
​(Self imposed and collective)

x Advertising screaming in our faces

x Laptops and phones forcing us to pick them up

"Responsibilities"

I take time in solitude,

and head away to the mountains

I go quiet for a while and spend time sorting my head,

putting everything from last season where it needs to go

I'll see you tomorrow

Jake.

I thought it was that "new idea", because I was burned out from the work I though it was spiritual because I lacked all meaning and purpose But you know what it is? This path runs out... What path? The path of the...

Purpose, Meaning, Mission This is where the value of life lies For a long time it may be non existent Or it might start in a strange way Make Money, Get a job, Do the to-do list, You know what I'm saying.... Fucking booooorinngggggggggg.... So how then, Does the mission appear? Slowly but surely, Strange pieces that shouldn't fit together, All of a sudden mesh Through the strange journey you develop your desires and boundaries and the odd contrast between those values and pains becomes the...

For the longest time, I've received emails from other creators like myself Usually business owners stuck in that hustle, grind, never stop attitude This served a large purpose for a long time But it always left me feeling sub-par Like I was forcing And to an extent, When you're new to something, forcing is what you have to work with. You must force yourself into new habits, (they don't come easy.) You must force yourself to take action (Especially on the days you don't want to the most....)...
