Embrace Boredom

The last couple of weeks have been… character building shall we say. I've been working a pretty crap job at Covid testing sites, which is not exactly inspiring but oddly, the endless breaks and quiet stretches in random locations have given me space to think. I am part of the roaming team that goes to different sites so heading out to places like Bakewell and other Nottinghamshie / Derbyshite countryside spots. We seem to get more breaks than time on shift which is hilarious and ridiculous. Proper thinking time.

I've been writing a lot, sketching out ideas, revisiting projects that have sat on the back burner for years. What's surprised me most is that some of them are actually gaining interest. Things I once doubted suddenly feel viable. It's funny how perspective shifts when you're given enforced stillness.

After a lot of encouragement (and honest reflection), I think I've figured out my next move. DJing is the path I'm going to pursue seriously as a new career — not just dabbling, but committing to it properly. The energy, the connection, the creativity — it feels right. Photography, on the other hand, is something I'm going to give more space to and share more openly, but as a passion project rather than a pressure. I want to enjoy it, refine it, let it evolve naturally. For now, I'm leaning fully into the creative direction and seeing where it takes me. Maybe this is the moment I stop overthinking and just lean in.
