I recently finished craft-fulness: mend yourself by making things. the book did not present any earth shattering revelations but it did remind me of why I do what I do…i love it.
I know that we are often told to monetize all the things (and there is nothing wrong with that) but it is also okay to just do things because they make you feel good.
maybe I am the freak who just likes to make things for the sake of making them. I know I could do more but I don’t want to right now. I am satisfied with my smallness. I am okay with my ordinary life of making , wifing and mothering. I don’t want to hustle or beholden to shareholders/clients/the market…not right now and maybe never when it comes to creativity.
the truth is after 900 years of school( I kid but it felt like that at times) , I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up but maybe I am doing what I need to in this particular session of my life. And that is okay. it’s more than okay. it’s enough.
I have probably written this all before but it bears repeating.
You’ve reminded me, I have this on my bookshelf half-read (I do this – start books and not finish them…), and I love this: ‘I am satisfied with my smallness. I am okay with my ordinary life’ – it’s exactly how I feel!! Lovely to have found your corner of Blogland 🙂
Oh my yes!!!!If only we would realize, that we are enough…That we have enough…That we are doing enough…Much more than we do…✨🍁🍂✨🍁🍂✨
indeed. something I have to come back to again and again.
