Maybe, soon, Alchemy, you'll be able to enjoy more, sustain more interest.
My creative links are pretty frayed. I am intermittent on my loom. I have difficulty reading, though once wrote. I did other stuff. It's never all coming back. I try my best to dilate pleasurable times, but I can't finish a chapter in an easy novel these days.
I do try to accept pleasure from small things, like swimming in the kiddie pool w/ my son, or taking a short walk. Watching my chickens when I can make it out to the hen house. I can't sustain anything.
I do take pleasure in watching nice people do things--when not in a pique of despair.
But I have improved in fits and starts over the past three years--even if tomorrow I post how pointless the entire project of (my) life seems.
