Good night Dawn.
Ps - Everytime I write that, it makes me want to write a children’s book, or a poem.
If that ever happens, I would very much like to read it 🫂

🫂 That's pretty much exactly where I was stuck. I was trying to do too much too fast. Life around me was also chaotic... very ill friend, work concerns, etc. I felt awful that I couldn't help, and fix, and learn, and grow, and... just maintain. I needed to slow down, screw around, and just be for a little bit. Taking some time to evaluate my goals & realizing that my efforts had not been wasted was refreshing. It's a little easier to forgive yourself after you step back from the situation for a bit.
It's funny, it's not like I'm green to living but some things require constant or at least repeated practice. 💜
😂 too cool for skool but not cool enough for the country club. That's me 😂
Maybe but I'm cool about it y'know 😂
I was feeling very stuck for a while. I kicked rocks & did nothing very productive for about a month other than tying up loose ends on some menial tasks I had decided to undertake. Toward the end of it, I was starting to doubt whether anything that I have wanted to achieve was good idea... but the other day I looked over my goal list for the year and I have accomplished more on it than I have in most previous years in addition to some unanticipated stuff. The realization has sparked some intense desire to end this year out strong.
So, I guess what I'm getting at is:
All that cliché stuff about rest, burnout, selfcare, etc... its pretty accurate. Give yourself a break & give yourself a reminder of what you are capable of. 💜

We should've structured this like a swear jar 😂
I was thinking last night (sorry)... Reviews & recommendations should probably be different types of events, no? Since reviews can be negative, they wouldn't really fit into a recommendation category. Or for example, a scenerio that's likely to arise at some point of, 'this app is "meh" but it's what is available so I still recommend it'.
Reviews should probably have their own NIP & event kinds since you can review many things & you don't necessarily want to have all of those tied together, such as reviews of apps vs movies vs recipes.
Just food for thought for anyone interested.
😂🤣 ...I'm sorry...
