I think it’s time I read “The Mysterious Benedict Society”! Nice writing Evie, I think you are right about being obsessed. Most creative people are obsessed about what they MUST do.

This is such a beautiful piece and captures something I struggle with too! I have a tendency to get deeply obsessed, but then forget to live in the moment 🥲

It is hard as hell to balance being creative/in that mental state with life & relationships. I felt this. Love it 🙌🏼
