I found the remedy for exhaustion.
I thought that after leaving my old job, I’d finally have time to paint. I was wrong.
Work kept piling up, and old habits returned. It’s the same with everything. I delay what I love, thinking there’s always time. But that delay leads me to burnout.
I realized, We shouldn’t put what we love last. If we truly want something, we have to start now. That’s how we feel fulfilled, not drained.
Delays don’t lead to perfection, they can leave us empty.
So here I am, Back to basics. Petit a petit. I’m happy holding brush again.
