Yep yep yep! Me too! I'm like a butterfly flitting from subject to another 🦋
My partner on the other hand can talk all day long about ONE subject ( his breadth and depth of knowledge in this particular area is amazing) ....I get bored 😴
I read your posts via email mostly but jumped on the app to give you some feedback.
Yes, highly relatable. I am in the grip of a new obsession at the moment. I'm observing myself wanting to give exclusive time to think about it, I keep scouring for books, ideas are flowing...but already I feel sad that I know it will pass before I have brought to live the ideas. It's frustrating. I like this about me (I have no idea what procrastination is on a personal level - I am almost always in the grip of creative urge) but also it's exhausting to not have the space to see everything to completion. I know I have to accept that sometimes having the ideas and urges is The Things. X
I’m thrilled to know I’m not alone in the world with this hop-on-hop-off adventure. Like you the books and supplies pile up, projects unfinished new ones beginning and then oh!...on to the next big thing. There’s so much to learn, to do, to see, to feel, to visit, to read, to hear...
YES! 100% tracking with you from the first paragraph. I just wrote about the same thing, this flitting from interest to interest and longing for the ONE thing to be MINE to MASTER. Really enjoyed this post 😊
Oh yes, I relate to this! My bookshelves are crammed with nonfiction texts that I haven't yet read, on myriad topics all clamouring for my attention. It often feels to me that this next book will be the one that satisfies me, but to no avail. If only being a professional student was a practical life goal.
This is the story of my everyday life. I just want to do and know and create all of the things but get so incredibly stuck- because obviously it’s too much and just stalls me. Trying to take a step back lately and really just go with the flow, being compassionate with myself when I can’t do all the “simple” things that I’ve lined out for myself to fit into one day. Or on days when I don’t have the energy or clarity to do any of them at all. Thank you for sharing. There are many of us out here relating.
I feel so seen after reading your letter. So much to learn, experience, make, ponder and so many many ideas, it can be very overwhelming, to the point of inaction.
Oh, my goodness, yes! Lolol. You must have some Sagittarius in your chart. It's the way we roll. We crave learning like it's food for our soul and then we move on to something more delicious. :) I don't beat myself up about it anymore. xo
I have a hunger for knowledge. Gaining knowledge is a bit like drinking salty water, and only makes me thirsty for more. My thirst is unquenchable.
My ideas are like silken threads , it feels that as yet , I am unable to pull those threads together and tie them off. I have a bundle in my hands and just out of reach is another pretty string so I put things down and try to regroup. I feel I am never reaching a destination, and the goal keeps an arm’s length away. I keep gathering and learning . I swing on a pendulum between excitement and hunger to understand , and disappointment that I still have not achieved.

This is exactly me.

I agree--great post. I hope we all live to a grand age to accomplish and learn all the things we want to learn before our time is up.
