I loved this piece Jess, and couldn't relate to it more! It's like fear of looking like we can't commit, when actually, it's really not that at all. Love the way you call it a pivot party! :D
Love the dance analogy in this post! 💃🏻 I was just drafting a post last night about all the creative things I do when I’m avoiding/need a break from writing. Viewing it through the lens of keeping the creativity going vs. changing directions aimlessly really helps!
That is so perfect!! And what a magical adventure you bring us all on!
I recently adopted the phrasing "I'm exploring XYZ" which similarly feels so much more freeing and open-ended. I know sometimes the labels don't need to carry such weight, but having language that fits and a way to express ourselves like that is just so validating. 💖

Thanks! I'm glad this resonates. And we gotta have a little fun with it along the way, right? :)
Always!!

Thanks!! And yess it really is just keeping the momentum moving along no matter how it shape-shifts, not so much of a stop/start thing.
I feel like there's an ice skating metaphor to be found in there somewhere maybe! :)
There definitely is! I like the way you think ⛸️🤗
Love this!! I have changed my bio to ‘creative adventurer’, because now, I never need to change it, because that is what I will always be.
