    Dear Stranger;

    I think in the past two years or so I was seeking some kind of connection so hard that I forgot to feed the itch to create and make things, so now that the pendulum has swung back in that direction, I'm finding it's swung really far back in that make/create direction. I haven't written a letter proper or even a postcard in years and while I'm sure it can look like I've given up to some, in all honesty, I've sat with pen in hand and stared at a blank sheet for a good 30 minutes before saying, it's not feeling quite right. I mean, it sounds distressing, but honestly, I think it's more a sign that it's not yet the time to come back–there's still more to create, and more to do, and maybe that's what'll feed what's more to write for any future letters.

    Something I like to tell people is to watch out for the "shoulds" they tell themselves, because they sometimes they can lead us astray for whatever reason and maybe this is what I need to be telling myself for the time being.

    There's more to make, and there's more to create.

    Brb, I suppose.

    Magically,
    -j
