I’ve always had a difficulty truly embracing vacations or the time between jobs. I didn’t understand the benefits or rewards of stillness. I’ve always had a sense of stress that I’ve just accepted as part of my existence for as long as I can remember. The fabric of who I am. I’ve attributed it to drive. To full investment into what I do and what makes me operate. This is what work ethic and passion feel like right? Only in the last few years have I been able to process and internalize what it means to be present. Still. Completely in my body, in the moment. Truly existing. Not looking ahead to the next thing, not looking back or placing encumbrance on the moves of the present. Luxury of time had been this comforting idea, but never a reality. Until now. Suddenly the hustle I’ve ingrained into my genetic makeup since I was nine has been halted. There are no expectations to be met. No deadlines. No projects to start working on. In some ways this suspension feels like a gift. I feel guilt in the acknowledgement of that awareness because this time has been forced by such growing tragedy but I’m allowing myself to take each day as it comes. To love myself. Love my partner and my family. How often do we wish we had more time together? These days exist. This is real. It’s not the life we know, but we are here now. I’ve found peace in surrender. Some days I feel creative. I meditate. I spend time outside. I write. I hike. Binge Netflix. I belt a tune in the shower and let the creative wave flow when it needs to. It’s important not to wish the days away. Productivity isn’t always about making something. It can be a new discovery about our understanding. I’m combating the darkness around us by looking inward.” – @thenickadams
