You're still a human that needs time to stop for a hot minute. Just relax. Take a breather. You're more than just your work. You're flesh and blood and a brain that needs to focus on things other than trying to survive constantly.
Art's kind of just like this. Frustrating and weird, and it feels inane in a world that feels godawful.
But it's strong. It's important. And it'll be there if you take a breather.
Don't stop, not by any means. But learn to know when you're tweaking the dial a little too hard.
This is also kind of a letter to myself because I tend to forget it a lot but every so often you do gotta just stop. Burning yourself down doesn't make for better art.
It just makes you tired.
And you deserve better.
