Well, this was really grounding. As someone who constantly finds herself in her own head & loveeees planning, this was a nice reminder to, as you say, hug the butcher
People who constantly find themselves in their own head and love planning were the target audience for this piece. Glad it has started reaching them. (Me being the first such reader :D)
This piece is honest, gritty, and incredibly grounding. The idea of hugging the butcher, embracing the mess, the blood, and the failure is a powerful call to stop performing and start living. The mission doesn't start with the perfect orbit, it starts with that imperfect contact. I’m going to go find a butcher to hug today (metaphorically, of course).
The idea that plans fail not because they’re bad, but because they never survive contact with reality, that hit.
I think a lot of us are addicted to the “baker” phase because it feels safe, but the real shift happens when we’re willing to face the butcher and start small, imperfectly.
Glad you liked the read. And yes, while reading this, I kind of realized that contact might be the only thing worth planning. Anything further will only work when you can reach successful contact.
This is really relatable and easy to understand..time to stop overthinking and take action
Thanks for the kind words Ananya

The baker has nothing nutritious for you anyway. Meet yourself where you are, make contact, and slowly expand the mission over time.
Nice analogy man, keep writing.
Thanks a lot man, means a lot to me. :D
