"the fear of the closing of the window is one way to experience the window being closed" - reminded me of my tendency to overqueue spotify songs to create *future* experience, even though I already have a good song playing *now*. Stuck designing the future vs living in the present.

Beautiful writing. Appreciative of discovering your substack in this internet world.

Love your open attitude toward your creative practice! And I'm totally borrowing your idea to throw yourself a party as an accountability practice, so brilliant
