New year, old me

2022 will be a time for me to rediscover my old self. I’ve been working too much for about 7 years, and during that time I’ve stopped doing lots of stuff that I love doing. It’s left me feeling like I’ve got an empty battery, and now it’s time to remember what made me tick to start with.

It was always about creating something. Making art, creating visual representations of what was inside my head. Through words, paints or with a camera. I have invested in a new camera, to allow myself to dive back into what I think I used to be pretty good at - photography. It is one of very few activities in which I completely lose track of time and space.

In addition to creating more visual stuff, I’ll dedicate a few minutes every day to write. The “task” is to write down something I know. Maybe about how to boil a potato. Possibly about human movement. Time will tell. This serves two purposes - to get into a writing habit, and to remind myself of which skills I actually have (I forget sometimes).
