summer daze

I don’t know if you’re like this? But what inevitably happens with me is that I start something for fun and then I see that it could potentially lead to something more…life changing even. Then I start to get overwhelmed by the pressure I place on myself to make it perfect and totally forget that I started it(whatever project) for fun and as an additional creative outlet. So on and so on until it just becomes another thing. Does that ever happen to you? I can’t believe that I’m the only one that does that. In any case, being able to take a step back and enjoy the summer has been wonderful.
