I wanted to make myself do a text blog this year precisely so I can figure out how to balance my work and personal writing. Still haven’t figured out the answer but…

Like there was no creativity left for me. Now I wonder if that’s entirely true, or if I just didn’t know how to set up a daily practice of creative time outside of work to encourage making my own art? I’m not sure. I do know that I have drifted toward more of the production side of design because of the idea I established back then–that I want to save my creativity for me–so I build websites, and sometimes I re-work existing designs for a new purpose, but I don’t do as much original design work anymore.

Sometimes I wonder if all of that is just a myth I’ve created along the way, but ultimately I’m pretty happy with my set up, and while I wouldn’t say no to original design work, I like the variety! I could write a lot more about the ins and outs of my thoughts on this, but I think I’ll leave it here.

This poem seems to have struck a chord with many people. I think I’m slowly accepting/recognizing/accepting that one of the engines of my work is saying things or talking about things that women aren’t supposed to talk about, or at least we’re not supposed to write poems about.
