Delve a little deeper and it served as a constant, buzzing reminder to always be present. To observe and reflect. To record and write. To see and experience all things, no matter how seemingly insignificant. The series died down after a year or so. Whether or not that was just the natural progression of things or, more sinister, a sign that I was just\u00a0go-go-going, I&#8217;ll leave that up to you: but it can&#8217;t be mere coincidence that since hitting pause on Sensory Saturdays (and blogging as a whole, unfortunately), I&#8217;ve felt stagnant\u2014and stuck in that state. Adulthood will do that to you, people would say.\u00a0It&#8217;s the downside of a demanding career, others would reassure me. All accurate, but feeling. stifled. sucks. It&#8217;s not all grim though, I promise. What goes up must go down, and what feels flat can&#8217;t be just that forever.
