It's a slow roll getting to know ourselves. But if we let it all unfold, the answers show up, but as we grow and change, I suppose we need to be open to having that answer change as well. I also love the point you make about not knowing how things are going to work out, but you trust it will. That's not easy to do and takes some serious spiritual strength to settle into that mode.

Thanks, Andrew.

Thank you Blake Alan! (you literally have two names that could both be your first, and I have no idea which is which :)) ). And yes, answers change, a lot, and sometimes in unexpected ways and moments.

Andrew, this is a beautiful essay. I loved how you described that feeling of being out of alignment with your work – I've totally been there! And the part about falling into that "creator's trap" – so relatable!

Thank you Diana! I could do without the slight sense of despair that comes with the territory, but I guess it's also part kf the growth 😆

I want to commend you on how you gradually worked out what suited you - knowing yourself! some people never get to that point
