I am trying to keep the anxiety and depression at a minimum. The more I clean this space, the more I notice cobwebs forming in hard-to-reach places. I have to bake a cake today as tomorrow is my husband’s birthday. I am going to attempt to bake it from scratch. I keep making messy, colorful art in different books because that’s really what feels the best. I look at my canvas pieces, unsure of how to move forward with them. Time moves fast and slow at the same time.
Even just that opening: "I am trying to keep the anxiety and depression at a minimum. The more I clean this space, the more I notice cobwebs forming in hard-to-reach places." It's so evocative to me. Save some cake for me.
Thank you for your comment, and the cake actually turned out well so I will save you some. Strangely I woke up questioning if this post was too intense to have shared, so you words are lovely and affirming.
I do that all the time too! I'm more of the 'why is the engagement always so low on my posts' kind of agoniser. There should be a quiz...'what kind of substack overthinker are you'
