This has me thinking very deeply, Charlotte. I definitely followed the cake pop rule in forging my folk music career. But, if I can stretch the metaphor, I ate too many cake pops and became physically and mentally unwell. So, now I’m working (very slowly) on how to desire something without driving myself over the edge. It’s an amazing thing to have the energy I have to make things and I never want to lose that desire. But I find myself thinking carefully about how to share my work in the future without decimating my health. It’s an interesting cake pop puzzle which I’m often puzzling. You’ve given me good things to consider! xx

This is such a good comment! It's the side of desire I didn't consider here. The side that leads to unhealthy addictions and more. And your health is the most important thing. Without it, you can't desire or do anything. I'm glad this gave. you things to think about.
