Hi there, welcome to Follow Your Gut, a newsletter where I (Elin Petronella) write about the artist life and business from soon a decade long independent art career.
Oooh I so relate. Really needed this, Elin. I'm in the late bedtime zone as well and have been feeling so angry and frustrated until one such evening I burst out laughing at how angry I at the fact that a little person wants to stay up and see the moon and read. I laughed because apart from all the plans in my head of things I wanted to do there was absolutely nothing wrong with that evening, with that moment ..
Needless to say I've not written anything on my Substack for ages and have had to say no to clients. Hope to find more pockets of time for creative endeavours and thanks for writing and sharing this. such a fabulous and refreshing post
Thank you Eugenia, this touches my heart 💜 it’s rough when the mind keeps spiraling as we see the days (weeks…. Months) fly by until we phase that moment, just like the one you describe, that actually it’s a lovely time? Just not how we planned, but if we pretend we didn’t plan anything it’s great!

It’s a fascinating journey isn’t it!
