God what beautiful writing. Thank you for the effort it took to gift this to us. I went on a screenwriting binge right before getting sick and I still think some of them were really good.
I have many unfinished projects. Maybe bc I (as all creatives) have too many ideas to fit a life). I used to live them as failure, a sign of failed motivation, commitment, character. But I am more mindful now and I know that it is no longer this. I observe without evaluation or judgment. I experience my unfinished stuff as me choosing what is a priority right now, what I need. Because life happens and we cannot be everything or everywhere and sometimes our mind just doesn't work. I know that I am not a failure. I am choosing what feels right. Maybe one day I will return to it. Maybe never. It is okay. This feels like love and freedom. xo
Almost wouldn’t exist without the incomplete drafts. The mystery and gift is when you’re able to not let these unfinished pieces drag you backwards. They’ll be done when their time comes. If it comes.

Great minds! I started a project with the same idea many years ago, but it became another almost :-)

Wonderful idea!

The time sometimes comes and it feels so wild and unexpected
