I forgot to optimize the moment

Dear Delyara, I did something creative today and, for a while, forgot to improve it, monetize it, post it, document it, or turn it into proof of something. I just did it. That felt healing in a way I haven’t felt for a long time. There are parts of me that only seem to come back when I stop turning every joy into output. I think I’ve been starving those parts without fully realizing it. It felt good to remember I still have access to them.
