The Bare Bones of Accomplishment
Age of Empathy Prompt #2: A Meaningful End
Twenty-twenty: in repetition I found rhythm, routine.
In writing, I built a space in my schedule to reflect and journal each morning; and found a space to regularly chisel those random orbs of thoughts into intricate interesting knick-knacks tied up in a nice fat bow for others to read as poetry.
In food, I mastered the basics of the one thing that brings me the most joy, so that I could regularly build scrumptious meals without needing to break the bank.
In connection, not only did I find an amazing sphere of writers, I reconnected with old friends far more regularly whether in weekly game nights or daily mundane texts.
When all else fell apart, all that was left were the bare bones, a repeating structure that gives rise to all else beyond.
Thank you to Melissa Bee for her AoE prompt # 2: A Meaningful End!
Lucy (The Eggcademic) [she/her] recognizes that it’s an immense privilege to have taken this time in isolation for self-improvement, rather than focusing on how to survive through this time. If you, too, were in this kind of privilege, join me in making decisions and actions that make this less of a privilege and more of a basic human right.
