As a worrier and a sufferer, this was helpful.
"Why do you insist on suffering?" asked my qualifier (as they say in some 12 step groups).
Hmm.
"I'm too worried about what you think of my life?"
(But that makes it sound like he's just a person giving advice and not an echo of a voice calcified into my inner critic.)
"It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open" I wish that was me. That was Martha Graham talking.
....Oh, and on the tinkering with note-taking side, I had some luck with 'anecdote'. (not an employee-they just have room on their calendars for random, notes, priorities, etc.)
love all of this! thank you for writing it so people can read it (as i myself AM "people." or i'm part people. or people are part me.)
also, re: chickens, have you seen/heard bo burnham's song "the chicken"? it's one of the most beautiful songs i've ever seen/heard. have you watched all of "inside" and the "inside outtakes"? do you love bo burnham like i do and if not why not (no need to answer).
