This post resonates with me on so many levels. Like you, I have spent the past decade on the hamster wheel. I've had 'success' with projects I wrote because I had the ability, but not because I particularly liked, loved, or even had any interest in and discovered I simply don't want to. I feel like Q4 of 2022 was me having one big Lloyd Dobler moment when it came to my career. A whole bucket of Do Not Want. I guess the trick now will be finding my way back to what I do want. It's a damn good thing I love peanut butter! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

"There’s endless talk out there about filling our wells. Output needs input! Inspiration can take time, rest, space! We hear the words. But then quickly explain that, though we agree, we don’t have time for that right now and rush to our next deadline. Or was that just me? ;)"

It's not just you!
