Beautifully thoughtful and very helpful. "I love knowledge, I love information, I love doing deep dives into random topics that happen to catch my fancy. When I want to learn something, I devour sources about it. I love to curate bodies of information and distill them down into my own writing" should be a mantra, a code to live by.
"...and all of it makes me feel tired and need lots of naps." Yes! I resonate with this post so deeply (and I'm 44 too). Thank you. Sometimes I think I consume others' thoughts much of the day because being with my own can get repetitive, or make me feel compelled to constantly create something out of them, when all I want to do (and need to do) sometimes is genuinely rest. Then when I'm out with a tree somewhere, it all goes still and makes sense again. A sense I can't always put into words. Though I can try.
“or make me feel compelled to constantly create something out of them” … I don’t think I’ve ever articulated this before but so much yes that can be how it feels.
