Hey, man, c'mere. Listen. Get in real close, this is important.

You’re gonna make stuff again. You’re gonna make stuff you’re proud of. You’re gonna make stuff you’re excited to share. You’re going to feel that overwhelming drive to create, not just the frantic I want to want to you’re stuck in now. You’re going to have awesome ideas, and you’re going to make them into reality. You’re going to create again. You’re still an artist. You’re still a writer. You’re still home to the same passion you had before. You’ll find it again. It’s not gone. It’s just resting. Let it rest. You’re going to make stuff again. I promise.

When I was a teenager/20something I used to get The Fear that I had run out of juice and was doomed and would never write again. I don’t think a post like this would have helped me because I wasn’t ready to hear it. But I’m gonna say it anyway. I still get The Fear, but now I laugh at it. I tell my wife “oh no I’m a hack who’s never written anything good and never will” and she shakes her head solemnly and says “oh same actually” and then we keep trying to gently coax it back from the was. Or we take the L and play a video game. It always comes back. Always.

And I think this is the crucial part you may inexplicably take comfort in: it’s going to go away again too. It’s going to come and go so many times. If you let yourself be at peace with the cycle it will be easier to weather it.

my dad (Maori) works on a ship with all Maori/Tongan/Samoan fisherman- and one Aussie guy called Jake.

And that wasn’t done on purpose just sort of how it ended up, but Jake recently got an injury so they put him on a Different boat just for a little bit (a sit in the wheelhouse and scout type of boat, instead of the main fishing one) and he only got back to my dad’s ship today and he was apparently like Shaking. He was Traumatised.

Dad said Jake kept pulling him aside and going “They were all yelling on there, but in a MEAN way” “They didn’t clean… Like at ALL”

Jake experienced what a boat full of old school Aussie fisherman is like. That is the norm Jake. You just happened to be on the all Island boy boat on your first go out. “It was time for dinner and they had FROZEN nuggets” Jake that’s what they have on ships that are out at sea for months at a time.

On my dad’s boat they are eating fresh fish and coconut milk Ceviche. They’re grilling steaks on an open bbq on the deck that probably is not regulation. All the guys have their own special knives to prepare sashimi every couple days. Everyone is happily doing their own work so they can clock out early and set up a movie on the deck. Jake did you genuinely believe that’s what every boat was doing.

Local Australian man is fed fresh juices and smoked fish for first time- refuses to go back to beef jerky boat life

jake that first night when they served a freezer tray tv dinner and not an overflowing plate of fish that’s probably going for conservatively like $40-$80 bucks a kilo but the guys decided Eh we’ll catch more let’s just fry it up:

Vinyl records are circular because it’s an efficient use of space: the grooves that encode the music are laid out in a spiral on the disc, so that the needle only has to move as far as the disc’s radius to read the entire thing. Before this clever idea was thought of, the grooves were instead laid out in a straight line, and every LP was a narrow rectangle more than a thousand feet long. To flip an album to side b at least two people were needed, one at each end, coordinating via shouted instructions.

I played this for SO many people when it came out a couple of days ago. She’s so on-point here.
