External validation

I don’t get a lot of external validation in my day to day job. It’s m left to my own devices which is a sign of trust, sure, but there’s little feedback coming from bout side the core group of colleagues. Being surrounded by people who care as much as I do and understand my experience is lighting up my brain.

Thinking over sleeping

Sleeping is hard at conference hotels. The ideas all rolling about aren’t helping that. The result is some sort of melancholy over having to leave an environment where I feel like I matter in a meaningfully different way here than when I’m back home.

That seems not good? Or im just frazzled from all the stimulus.

Something to pick apart there. Maybe writing this down will help me get back to sleep,

Look a wild distraction!

Here is my note graph to distract everyone from the melancholy so i dont have to think about it more.
