I often need to remind myself of this, especially with my writing.
Find something to pour yourself into. To work at it, to grind away, like it’s going to save your life. Because it’s going to. It’s going to be something more than just a hobby, or a livelihood, or even an obsession. It won’t be your life’s work, it will be your life- and the clockwork tick of each second, of each beat of your heart, will be the breath you take in, and the words you speak forth. Passion for life, passion for your craft. Indivisible.
