The designer’s disease

As I was chatting with my friend Samir the other day, we came across the incredible revelation that we were both sick from a strange disease. Not that we’re suffering from any horrible symptoms involving itchy skin, nauseating smell and crave for fresh brains… At least for now. No flu symptoms either, be it from birds, pigs or even dolphin (which may be the next one, undoubtly.)

So what?!
Procrastination. Abusive use of the words “should”, “may” or even “maybe”. Making up new amazing projects that will never see the light of the office neon lights. Forgotting about blogging because there was something better to watch on TV. Craving to design things, to learn how to draw properly, to code, to speak a new language and to do some sports. All things that personnal trainers tell you to do on a regular basis in order to be a better person — but you don’t have a personnal trainer, so you keep forgetting. We’re suffering from a designer’s disease: the itch to make things that you will never find time to make.

If anyone got the antidote around here, please let me know.
For now, I go back in the flow of the over-working zombies, but I can’t help to think that, somehow, the “should” will someday happen.
Maybe if I can kick my own butt pretty hard…

Love and a bit of lettrpress on top of that.
Zélia

    Zélia! What have you done!?
    We weren’t supposed to reveal to the public that we are friends until much later. Don’t you remember the plan? First we were supposed to behave like the worst enemies. Then we would both gradually collect a large following, which would slowly grow to encompass the entire Earth. And then at the last moment, we would spring the surprise! That’s how you take over The World.

    Now we’ll have to start all over again. :-/
    Zélia, Zélia … you have so much to learn. I think we should have a meeting to discuss this new setback.

    ^_^
