Wow! I just finished reading Meredith Anne White's newsletter post talking about quitting and I feel like it's a moment of synchronicity. I also feel like a bunny hopping from one interest to another. The line "Turns out lobotomies aren’t a cure for a delusional woman and neither is being a full-time creative." actually made me laugh out loud. Several times. The question: "do I part with whatever challenges me? Or do I accept that everything grows into a reflection of ourselves." is a constant one for me. While i enjoy the novelty of flitting from one interst to another, I carry so much shame and guilt from quitting jobs, ideas, projects. Do I really trust and listen to my intuition, or is it my fear? Thanks for sharing.
I love this so much. Thank you. You have put words to something I’ve had in my mouth for years now. Thank you. I honor the rabbit within, and now I pivot to more deeply inquire, what am I fighting for?
thanks for this post! i resonate with the idea of following passions, even if briefly, because of the energy it creates in my life. i've also seen myself step away from projects when they became "challenging" (or is it "how it was contributing to my life was not serving me in the way i needed") and have questioned those decisions.
i have been settling into longer term projects as i realize their potential for the growth that i want to see in my life. it's noticeable for me which projects those are in how the energy continues to be there even in the difficulties. it’s required honesty with myself about what I want and the willingness to tune into that.
the question that i like is some variation of:
"what are you doing?"
or “what are you working on?"
or "what's new?"
and then simply "why?"
when i reflect on this, my responses range from immediate actions to long term projects. all things I’m passionate about and contribute in a mainly positive way to my life. i recognize they will change at varying intervals, but confirming the things that I am doing to myself, or to another if they are doing the asking, is often clarifying, self-affirming, and energetic.

Yess I feel this! Love the questions, especially "what's new" :)
