If Things Were Normal

If only they were normal, perhaps we’d:

Try out that idea: the one that could be a real hit, that you have the resources or resourcefulness to genuinely test and iterate upon. Except the world is crazy so why try.

Write that book: the one you’ve had in you all year, the one you seem to dictate a chapter of every time someone gets you going. Except the world is crazy so why bother.

Serve that community: the one your body of work could really benefit, that already has a clear understanding of their need for your work. Except the world is crazy so why put that together right now.

There’s no such thing as normal, there’s just “now”.

What if you put aside the excuses about how the timings wrong, how the world’s too mental, how you don’t have the resources, and make it happen anyway?
