I’m glad you were able to get out there. I needed to read this today. Struggling to do even basic stuff this week. This reminded me that I’m not alone at least.
Thank you as always for your honesty and vulnerability. Been struggling with this lately - mainly wanting more friends but then not going to the social event/meetup whatever when the time comes it’s so confusing when you want it but resist it so much.
I’ve been struggling to make art again. I went to school for graphic design. But after years out of the career, I struggle to want to make anything. Maybe after I move, I will create again. I’m at least glad to be back at writing and reading again.
So proud of you for showing up for yourself. You deserve all of the pockets of peace and joy. I admire how steady you’ve been. It’s an honor to see and know you. We are here cheering you on both when you surf and when you don’t.
I relate to this in so many ways. The funny thing about this is for me is that eventually I just do the thing I've been avoiding and, sometimes, I marvel at how easy it was to just do it (other times it still took a lot of talking myself into it and batting away all of the excuses).
Really really love this. Relate to it so closely and seeing and hearing about you getting back out there made me so happy for you. Encouraged me to get up and try again after a couple false starts recently :) Thanks for sharing this
I feel like I have a tendency of getting in my head and making excuses for not being present and doing the things that I love and bring me peace. This was the reminder I needed to get out of my own way and take care of myself by doing the things that make my heart happy. 🖤
Thanks for this post! This is so me this year. Last year I was paddleboarding basically every day. This year every time I think about it, I'm making excuses like " It's too cold" or "It's too windy" or "There's not enough time" and especially "There's always next weekend." And then I stay home and stay bored. Definitely need to just go do it instead of just thinking about it. Thanks for the motivation.
I love this. This is how I feel about writing. I’m feeling like writing and surfing are more similar than I ever realized! And how profound that you’ve now come back to both of those in this season. Thanks for leading the way…
I’m so, so, SO happy you got back to it! You deserve the way it makes you feel. Hopefully you found one of those pockets of peace on the waves. Love you, my friend!

We gotta start somewhere.
