Welcome to the Mind Fuzz newsletter, a recap of three things that are on my mind this week.
1. Storytellin’
Telling good stories is easy.
Do cool sh*t, then tell people about it.
But when you’re not doing cool sh*t, you start to run out of ideas real fast.
I truly believe the best stories come from outside your comfort zone.
Unfortunately, I’ve been really comfy lately.
And as a result, I think my writing and creativity has suffered.
When I got back from travelling through Europe, I had so many things I wanted to talk about.
But I feel like monotony has slowly been eating away at my creative spark.
Recognising this is one thing.
But taking action to actually change it is what matters.
How comfortable is your life at the moment?
Maybe it’s time to seek something out that scares you.
Sounds horrible, doesn’t it?
2. Drug Drinkin’
Caffeine’s a wonderful little drug, ain’t it?
So wonderful, in fact, that I have a hard time balancing my intake.
But I’ve been trying to lately.
I’ve only been drinking my espresso during writing sessions or when I’m out with people who I genuinely enjoy the company of.
‘Drinking my drugs with intention’ – that’s this month’s catchphrase.
But seriously, I struggle to maintain moderation in my life at times.
And caffeine is a severe culprit.
I think if you can master your intake, it can be incredibly beneficial.
Take note next time you’re drinking your coffee.
Do you genuinely feel a burst of happiness or creativity?
Or are you just drinking it out of habit?
3. Tomorrow Livin’
“Tomorrow I’ll be me. Tomorrow I’ll be free.”
Yung Lean – Hellraiser
I feel like Bart Simpson writing lines on the chalkboard.
Tomorrow never comes.
Tomorrow never comes.
Tomorrow never comes.
I can only experience things in the present.
Thinking I have to wait until tomorrow for freedom or happiness has held me back for so long.
Sure, I can work towards things.
But thinking those things will “set me free” is bullsh*t.
Today I’m free.
Today I’ll be me.
And today I am super sorry because my newsletter is a day late <3
