Hi to all subscribers of this community,
I just wanted to see how everyone is doing. I’ve not been active on Lemmy in recent times, as I have cut social media out of my life for the most part. However, this is one of the few communities that I still visit from time to time, as I think this is a great community (even though it isn’t very active).
My creative drive has been killed of by the heatwave last week, as it was 30C in my apartment. It felt like my brain was just in survival mode as I was unable to do any creative things this last week (like writing, drawing or even just thinking about life as I usually do).
Today is the first day that I really feel like writing again, as it has cooled down.
How about you? Was it hot were you live and did you do any journaling last week?
I was also affected by the heat wave. Like you, I felt like my brain and body just went into survival mode. I would mostly just sit or lay on the couch waiting for the heat to pass.
I still somehow managed to journal for most of the days. Usually in the morning hours when it was still somewhat manageable. But I also had some thoughts and experiences I really wanted to put down in writing during those days. So I pushed me to get it on paper and once I started writing, words were coming. The entries during the heat were actually one of the longer ones in my journal.
Yes, I know that feeling. Sometimes, you have some thoughts that you just have to write down, before they’re gone. I usually don’t have time to write in the morning, as I have to go to work, and I don’t want to get up earlier.
