Stop attacking yourself.

Think in terms of: I should add this or that to my work or creative output, instead of subtracting from them.

When you expand your work, your mind, including your mood and mental state, expands.

And when you eliminate, you tend to shrink, even in terms of feeling good.

Stop canceling stuff.

There are privileged people who have it all even if they do nothing at all all the time.

I bet you’re not one of them.

Please don’t ever think that less is more.

There’s no emptiness in you or void that you’re trying to fill.

Everything the establishment says is wrong with you is actually what’s right with you.

You need to work and be super productive to feel sane, to not be miserable, to just be normal.

Ain’t no shame in that.

Keep working every day until fatigued.

Yeah, but that’s a recipe for burnout, isn’t it?

No. Because you seem to not notice the disclaimer I’ve put up here. Until fatigued.

If you are fatigued, you shouldn’t work. Even if you woke up like that. Even if you were like that for days on end.
