my friend says this thing: feel and think and create as long as you can, doesn't matter where it goes or who it reaches or what it is defined as. what we create is more than comments and more than conversations. it's everything and it's too much and that's what we're here for.

really resonated with the part of over-analysing and the need to define everything.

I do love anything pieces, but sometimes we need to be allowed to stop thinking! Either way, it’s good to try and keep at it. Thank you for reading <3
