catching up to nothing, 8.17.25

whether it’s the writing, the music, or something else, i always feel like i’m behind with the creative endeavors. there’s no time for downtime as there is always something to do. it’s a bad thing at times because it can be overwhelming and i can get burnt out. the good thing though is that there is always something to do and when there’s always something to do, there’s always progress to be made. tonight, like many nights, progress is being made. it doesn’t feel like it most nights, but i have this delusional belief that it’ll pay off. as far as when? only God knows, but i hope it’s sooner rather than later. there’s a saying i read recently that said progress is feels like nothing is happening until it all happens at once. it was written more poetic than that, but you get the gist.

from the outside, it may seem like nothing is happening, but trust when i say we’re up to something.
