one of the quotes i find most inspiring on a hard day:
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom"
Ecclesiastes 9:10
Carl Jung once said that one of the most destructive forces a person can carry is unused creative energy. if you have something in you that wants to be made and you keep refusing to make it, that energy does not just go away. it turns inward and starts working against you.
As someone who has had multiple burn outs, to a terrifying degree, let me tell you
If you’re neurodivergent, rest won’t do it
You need to refuel with your special interests
You need novelty and challenge
Sitting in silence and simply “resting” might only torture you, shem.
