A sole single word I read from someone somewhere that you should always have one word that motivates & defines you. For me that word is play . I think the word play gives a sort of reminder to put curiosity before accuracy. In contrast, the word work kind of expects precise action every time. Play seems to rid me of all impractical expectations, & instead, emphasizes a will to explore. When I define play , I don't entirely tie it to video games & jests, but also a desire to find what I enjoy - I'm never done writing, & I do think this blog could have been utilized better, but I'll elaborate more later.
My collections of writings; here.
