One more leather journal for right-to-left writing is finished.
Back again after one of my signature extended pauses.
I caught myself doing it again tonight—getting too caught up in structure and precision. It’s a habit that shows up when I’m writing and other things, especially when I care about the outcome. The feeling that it has to be just right before I can move forward. That I have to have all the information, all the ducks lined up. But I’ve started noticing the moment that impulse kicks in. I paused. Let it pass. Didn’t chase it. That feels like a kind of progress.
The day was productive in that quiet, steady way Sundays can be. Pilates and barre, which I try to keep up unless I’m at my John’s. That routine helps me stay grounded. But I still haven’t finished my paper, and there’s always that low-level hum of other priorities pressing at the edges—like finding an apartment for my you in Sydney. That task has been sitting there, quiet but urgent.
I’ve also been thinking about what’s next professionally. I want to move into public policy. I’ve worked in marketing for years, but my heart’s not in it anymore. I know where I want to be, but it’s a lot to carry at once. And when it feels like too much, I escape like I always do. I do something else—something I can finish, something that makes sense. Not always helpful, but human.
Tonight I’m trying not to solve everything at once. Just stay in the moment. Let things be a bit unfinished. I’m learning that some kinds of progress look like not doing the usual thing.
