Hi friends,
A quote today, from the remarkable Anthony Bourdain:
Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s OK. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.”
The same is true for writing. The work you put out into the world.
It won’t be easy.
It will change you.
It will bring you to breaking point.
It will break your heart.
It will challenge you in ways that you didn’t think was possible.
You’ll question repeatedly whether it’s worth it.
And it will leave a mark.
It will fulfill you in ways you couldn’t have anticipated.
It will give you a deep sense of passion, and purpose, and faith.
And hopefully, through it, you will leave something good behind.
Cheers,
Natasha
