Yes! I loved this!! Your thought pattern reminded me of Charles Schifano, where he just keeps surprising and enlightening the reader. Love this so much! To link it to creative pursuits and the restrictions we put on ourselves - so good. Also, the zealotry part reminded me of something i heard years ago where it was said that to be a zealot, you have to believe in something that either isn't provable or a belief not commonly held, such that you never see "sun fanatics," who claim every day that indeed the sun will or won't rise the next day. Welcome back, friend!
I used to be a zealot about stupid things, like sunscreen being a scam. The major burns I got my first time on the Aegean coast in Turkey smacked that zealotry away for good.
Hahhaha that's something i've never heard before! I'm too Czech and Irish to not believe in sunscreen and hats. Sorry you endured the burn but so pleased you've protected yourself since!
Welcome back, Oleg. Sorry to hear about the writing burnout. The self-imposed pressure is real and I also have to remind myself to have a good time with my writing.
So excited to have you back, Oleg! And great minds do think alike. I was just leaving a voice note for my British friend this morning and talking about the “new concert” phenomenon.

It's exciting to be back :). And thanks for welcoming me back. What's this "new concert" thing?
LOL that's me typing too fast on my phone. I meant "new convert." 😅
