Stop, stop completely what you’re writing. Go outside, or stay indoors. Doesn’t matter which. Just stop. After that is up to you. Personally I play some Donkey Kong Country, pick a random movie I love, listen to some music, run a mile or just look at the skies or the other houses around me.

Usually at work, I’ve been jumping around between odd-jobs for a while now, trying to convince myself that I’m 100% sure of what to do with my life. Those jobs tend to involve a lot of human interactions (which tbh is hard for an introvert). I’ve worked retail, as a teacher, caregiver (seniors and mentally disabled) data analyst and even worked at an amusement park.

I started working on a poetry book that expressed a feeling of incompleteness, almost 2 years after I started working on it I lost my hard drive and everything in it, including said manuscript. After a 2 month hiatus I found an early version in a cloud and decided to give it a go one more time. While working on this version I was watching way more movies than usual, there I realized the theme should relate more to movies that I love and find interesting.
