Happy Holidays

It is the most wonderful time of a year, according to some sources. Well, the year we’ve left behind wasn’t too easy or too happy. Or any other kind of ‘too’. Pretty hard, pretty interesting, pretty exhausting. Though, I spent it with my family staying safe – it is more than some people have.

But I do want to get more out of it. So I won’t pretend I am content with what I currently have. I am grateful that I am alive and I have work and my loved ones near. But it is always more out there, isn’t it?

So Happy Holidays everyone! Never stop seeking more for yourself! And may happiness and success pursuit you next year!

Nonsense

Yesterday Canada celebrated Thanksgiving Day. My second Thanksgiving celebration since I moved to Canada. However, last time, I didn’t feel the spirit of the holiday, I was horrified of being moved to another country.

This time it was way way better. We asked our friends to come by, we cooked so many tasty things, we watched movies and talked. That was heartwarming for real.

We also played some board games, and one was called Nonsense. You answer a question, right down the answer on a piece of paper, fold it and hand it over to a person next to you so they could answer a following question, but they couldn’t see what you answer before, and so on, so you get a little story in the end. A little random story, to be honest.

The weirder answers you put, the more interesting it gets in the end. More drama, said I yesterday 🙂

And it helped me with kind of a block in my head. All this overthinking and doubting bring you to an understandable end. You stuck. So I am glad I unstuck myself in such a pleasant way.

Have a great week everyone! And hope you’d feel joy out of this Autumn.

Working routine

Writing day after day creates a good habit of consistent writing. But also, at some point you might feel bumping into a wall. That is where you stuck in routine.

I tried different ways of avoiding that point. But the truth is – the only way not to get there – make writing not 100% routine. Always try something new, look for something new, wonder, dream.

And give yourself some rest. Don’t let guilt overwhelm you. You deserve this rest as well as you deserve to write, create, express yourself.

It works not only in terms of writing. But also in terms of life.
