Back in business

Feeling a bit chirpier lately and thought I’d give this blog thing a spin again. (I’ll probably be faffing around with the stylin’ and whatnot over the coming weeks.

Two reasons I feel better:

Laura messaged me one day (when apparently I was feeling receptive to this sort of thing) to say:

Guuuuy you should go to sxswi!

And something inside me went: yes.


So that was nice, an exciting plan by all accounts. I’m also going to New York City and Baltimore on the way, and funnily enough it doesn’t cost any more to do that because the plane is going that way anyway.

With this newfound doingy energy I had more and more thoughts swirling around my head until I felt I was going even crazier than I was when I had no energy. One night about 3am I opened up a blank email pane to try and get some of down, and when I finished 30 minutes later I’d written 1500 words of stuff. The next day I turned it into something a bit like this:

And it’s a big huge brain relief. I know it’s kind of cliche to say so, and sometimes it doesn’t work and I end up just enumerating and reinforcing all my anxieties, but This List has set me a little bit freer.

It’s nice.
