Starting Something New

I’m having one of those days where I can’t stop thinking about starting new projects. There’s just so many things I want to immerse myself in and not enough hours in the day. I can feel all the kernels of ideas and lives unlived pressing in on me from all sides and it’s really quite overwhelming.

I’m actually writing this on a break at work because I have to get something out of my head before I explode.

I’m simultaneously caught in the past, present, and future. Each action is a chess move with ramifications years down the line. I’m probably giving each decision a lot more weight than it deserves, but it feels like I have to follow every thread to see where it goes.

How does somebody do everything? I know that’s impossible... So, how does somebody live with all the decisions unmade and the paths not taken?
