You’re not waiting for inspiration.
You’re trying to function.
There’s a difference.
You’re not lazy.
You’re flooded.
You’ve passed the point where “just start” makes sense.
You don’t need tips.
You need oxygen.
You need the kind of safety that doesn’t come with strings.
The kind of connection that doesn’t expect you to be “on.”
The kind of silence that doesn’t feel like punishment.
Motivation is cute when things are stable.
But when your nervous system is fried, and the light hurts, and even your own reflection feels like someone else’s memory—you don’t need a pep talk.
You need space to fall apart without being discarded.
Being functional is not your highest calling.
