Sitting in front of the desk with the computer open, to actually make an effort to write, feels like a little victory on it's own.

We tend to postpone and procrastinate what really matters to us, which is crazy of course, but oh so understandable.

Our task on earth is to breathe. Right now. Inhale. Exhale. Very good :)
