hello i am nora reed

you may know me from all the bots i have made. they live on nora.zone now. i also run an abortion resources page at abortion.cafe and have a jewelry store at nora.jewelry.



so i was thinking of trying to apply to a real big in person holiday market this winter and i am choosing to not do that anymore and i feel bad about it. it's a 2 day event and my stuff just hasn't been selling well in person, i think it's just too expensive for impulse purchases here, and it's also hard to catch people's attention with items that are so small. but i am feeling pretty bad about it. it's really hard to feel so limited physically, but my back really does keep me from pursuing in person sales more intensely than i already do. it feels bad to be so limited. but i can't keep pushing through pain to do in person stuff and i'm telling myself that i really have to pick a focus for winter.

idk i guess i could use some encouragement about the whole thing

it's super easy to beat yourself up over the limitations your body gives you but there's no moral value in "how much stuff did i get done". it's actually good to treat yourself with kindness and not do the thing that will hurt you and maybe not even benefit you!

I mean if it's not working for you, it's not working for you. No reason to force yourself to do something that could end up costing you more money than you make. Also it's important to take care of your body, and you shouldn't feel bad for doing that :c That kind of work is hard even without disabilities, you know?
