Entry 2: creating stuff.
hey there kiddo
i don't have a lot of energy tonight. sorry about that, first of all.
its been an odd day again, hasn't it?
but a good one, in a lot of ways. a lot of good moments. a lot to celebrate.
in some ways, we've been working up to this day all year. Our big project. Time to play nice with a whole group of people we've barely met before, and make something cool of it.
we love making stuff. there's not a lot of things that feel better than creating, whether its stuff that lasts or something just for that moment.
its why we love music, and cooking with people, and growing things and getting our hands messy, right?
so it kinda sucked today that we got halfway through meeting all these new people that we're gonna create with, and we felt so damn tired.
I don't even know why. I dunno if there is a reason. but it made us sad.
still, we recovered by the end, a bit. we came up with some good ideas, silly ideas!!
and then we went home and napped. that was good, I think.
making dinner later was good too. and the conversations we had. that lit a bright little spark in our heart.
i'm trying to keep it burning now, as the weird thoughts try and creep back in. as i'm typing this, we're tucked away safely under the covers where the world can't get to us.
sometimes i think kids like you really do know best. its amazing how safe you feel with a blanket over your head.
...yeah. we haven't heard from someone else very much today, have we? and usually this is exactly the type of moment we'd share with them. cozy and snuggled up and warm.
i hope they're doing okay, or as well as they can at least. there's a lot of stress in their world right now. they've become important to us really quickly. i hope they'll be okay.
there's another friend very far away right now too. they left this morning, and it ached a bit that we couldnt be there to say goodbye. we had other important things to do, and... yeah, I'm not sure if it was worth it either. maybe being there would have been more important.
too late now, though.
but... even though they're very far away for a little while, they were still such an important part of so many good moments today. so maybe thats okay.
thats something really special about loving people, i think. you can be so so far away from them, and it doesnt make them any less important. even just in the little moments. especially then, perhaps.
its bedtime i think, so we can be awake early again tomorrow. we're voting on the project we'll be working on the the rest of the year, which is exciting and scary!
...yeah, okay. I'll let them know.
We love you, friends reading this. We hope you're all doing okay.
ninight 💚
