“some assembly required”

I started this one a while ago. It had a bit of the new year’s resolution to it, more I’ve got to do something than knowing the direction. Things have changed along the way, mainly seeing a counsellor, which is helping. If the pieces of the model were choices that could be made, the notebook […]

“ballast”

What I write sometimes seems a little circular… “been a while / been busy / self referential”. This one could be more so. Been an insane 6 weeks or so, working on my agency’s two biggest projects for the year, at the same time. Then doubling down by burning some extra curricular midnight oil. Before […]
