Need to journal

Stressed

Feeling the squeeze on stock cropper stuff Mostly self imposed Need to at least get this sprint of stuff kicked off Then things get better for a while Not done Just a cooling Maybe I should do some THF design to take my mind off it

Reading the doc gives anxiety It's a commitment Kinda

I mean I can walk away

That non-compete has a slight language issue though

I am slow to make long term commitments I am fast to make short term commitments

Am I happy doing this? The pace is too much right now I want help. I could use help, if it was the right help. Or overall this is just not the right time Maybe

What would I do otherwise?

I need to pray and meditate more I'm not quite pleased with my social life but it is getting somewhere tbh It won't last though

What do I want Let's not worry about whether I should or not let's just be blunt. Lord perfect my desires but here they are I think I want to exercise agency I want to be of service to my neighbor I want to solve interesting problems I want to design things that suck less I don't want to drive equipment days on end I don't want to burn out I don't want to work 10 hour days doing design I am fine working 6 hours days of design + 4 hours manual labor I don't mind looking after animals I don't want to manage plants I want to mentor students/interns again, in my work, not as an auxiliary activity I want to design good things I want to be around nature I want to live with more natural processes I want quality leisure. What is that? Resting with the sheep. Discussing good ideas. Singing songs. I want to dwell closer to a few good friends.

I am fearful that this agreement will hamper things It may force me to leave home - which isn't the end but it doesn't feel ideal. I wanted to be closer to family. Roots. We'll see how this goes.

I dread the loss of complete personal agency.
