See you later alligator
Make space, accept limits, resettle for the future
Hi! this is a post to announce that I will take a pause from writing.
I was programming to hold tight until the end of February, reach the goal I set myself of 1 year (52 weeks) of this project, to demonstrate something to myself regarding my consistency and commitment.
But last week for the first time I wasn’t able to find some time to write, and honestly last months I haven’t been proud of the quality of the content. So I’ll take this as sign to accept my limits and drop my milestone right here for the moment, and stop. This is enough for now.
I will be taking a break, I don’t know how long it will be
I’m sure I will be back to it sooner or later in the future and after what I learned in the past year, I will reorganise the publication to post randomly whenever I actually have something to talk about: a lesson, experience or reflection I’m happy to share, with no pressure and the care it deserves to create a decent piece to be read.
If I’ll ever get back to a regular schedule, it will be only because I transformed this exercise into a job or some kind of business, because that is the amount time and attention it deserves to create value for you who read.
Meanwhile I know I found a tool that allow me to grow and learn so much from any simple event.
I’m really happy about all the good reflections that I collected by forcing myself to stop and write each week. It made me grow so much more than I thought it possible to respect to the opportunities of growth I encountered in my daily job. It also created connection with new and old people around me, and I’m so grateful for this and to them for following me and reaching out to me.
This has been my little space of reflection, and I really hope it was helpful for any of you who invested some minutes on reading my thoughts. I’ll be back when the times are mature, with a new challenge to share for which I won’t be ready, and yet excited to tackle with curiosity and ambition.
Meanwhile, I need to collect some time back from this commitment to invest it somewhere else on my weekly schedule. Free up space in my mind to focus on other things which became priorities, and also focus more on my future rather than reflecting on the past at the moment. Things will change again and again. I’m curious to see what happens next.
I’ll be glad to find you waiting to enjoy those experiences with me when I’ll be ready to share again. If you mind to stay.
