I love learning from others. I get a lot of enjoyment from reading and listening to what others have found out about the world and themselves. It has made content for this blog come easier as well.
As I've taken a break from that kind of reading, it has forced me to generate content for this blog on my own. The muscle is still building and it is getting stronger. In some ways all the consumption I was doing was hiding. It felt safer to express others thoughts than my own. I need to ensure my voice never gets lost. To take what I am consuming and internalize it for myself vs summarizing and to make time for just putting muy own thoughts out. Another learning from this time away. Likely have to do a summary of those shortly.
