I have a logo.
I have a new email.
I have an Instagram account.
I have a blog.

and now

I have a space.

I couldn’t start any projects until I had those things.
I made excuses until I got those things.
Then I got those things and I just sat around making lists of other things I need.

I need a paper cutter.
I need a printer.
I need packing slips.
I need new paint brushes.
I need a muse.
I need motivation.
I need INSPIRATION.
I NEED A REASON.
I NEED A PURPOSE.

And down the rabbit hole I go.
It’s dark here.
As my eyes adjust to the darkness I begin to see that purpose — acceptance.
The reason — growth.
Inspiration — me.
Motivation — life.
Muse — circumstances.

And the rest?
Well, all that is superficial.
