In planning for the year ahead, I’ve been thinking about the range of things that I want to try for myself. It’s somewhat because I have been comfortable with the things that I’ve been doing.
For example, I feel that my YouTube channel has been somewhat dead, and I’m letting the views stack slowly over time. I used to think harder about what I produced, including making intentional time to stream my keyboard builds and things like that.
Another example of being totally comfortable is just having regular everyday conversations with Clarice, and some times the routines of normal day takes over and we don’t put too much effort into a day.
But today being Valentines, we had thought of treating each other to a nice gift yesterday, and then enjoying a meal together as well. It’s something that we don’t do too often, but it’s something we do enjoy with each other. The comfort being the place where we just might not try for something new, but knowing we’re just comfortable doing what we know works. We actually try to change things up every now and then, which makes for exciting changes that we grow with as well.
And creatively, I do think that this year, I try my best to include Clarice in my creative pursuits, being a challenge to my sense of comfort. I’m used to working on my own, and my creativity exists on its own self. But with Clarice, I need to think of her thoughts too, and how to incorporate our thoughts together. Or maybe even to think of how I could grow more because I have her creative thoughts too.
That challenge of being comfortable.
Perhaps tomorrow I’ll work on the other side of it, and share about the enjoyments of being comfortable. If it happens that way, that is.
