Something strange that hit K and T was when people add “work” to what they love to do. The word in itself held no depth of sorrow nor madness, but once it was added, suddenly the feelings related to what they were doing changed.
For example, K had always enjoyed packaging and bottling stars and other products. Letting loose her creative energy on the product and how to best package it had always been the way to go for most of her works. And it was relaxing and fun for her, especially with how well she was getting to know her local Hobby Lobby.
But once she tried to think of it as work, it soured. It became less of something she wanted to do but she needed to do it. She suddenly had a deadline and more pressure to make it beautiful despite using sustainable products.
So, she removed the word and it took on the lighter and more friendly meaning of ease and companionable comfort again. Strange how this word would bring her such a change, but she found it easier after that.
Moral of this post is that, once you find something you enjoy doing, don’t try to define it or tie it down with words not often associated with enjoyment, pleasure, and ease. In our culture today, it’s far easier to keep the words you use for different purposes separate. This just simplifies and compartmentalizes your life and what you do.
And for most humans, this is definitely needed. So, thanks for the read and enjoy yourselves. Remember to stay safe and healthy, and keep doing what you love to do!
