It's fall. It's October and I can't remember if September even happened and yet I've been feeling busier than ever reviving some of the things that fell asleep during quarantine–primarily playing the viola. Rehearsals have started again, and we're making sure to keep up to speed on all of the CDC recommendations and are also in a fully-vaccinated/masked environment, but as for me, I've been making sure I take time to do things I enjoy outside of work, and it's been making quite a difference.
Still growing, still learning, but also still taking time to rest and heal from all of the work. There's a part of me that wants to kick myself for not learning all of this healthy boundaries stuff earlier, but there's also a part of me that wants to take that energy and redirect it so that whenever the chance presents itself, I can maybe help someone to not make the same mistake I've made. What I've done is done, and it's no longer something I can change, but I can definitely take the learned lessons forward.
In the meantime, it's also probably a good time to try and go to sleep earlier.
What's something you've learned over the past few months, stranger-friends?
Magically,
