Summer, a beautiful location right by the sea with a view of Table Mountain, nice people as neighbors, all my clothes in a cupboard, the fridge filled, I bought a bodyboard and wetsuit to play in the sea. I was ready. But after a few weeks, I became restless. Every day seemed the same. I had too little input, incentives, inspiration. I fought it: it was great here, wasn&#8217;t it?<br \/>\nI wasn&#8217;t allowing myself to &#8216;whine&#8217;. I started booking tickets: to my Trullo in Italy and my father in Miami in February, Cura\u00e7ao (<a href=\"https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/schrijfretraite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-ac-default-color=\"1\">the writing retreat from March 20-26th<\/a>), and a conference in Mexico in April. That gave me a small boost. But I noticed that my energy level dropped again; I didn&#8217;t feel happy no matter how hard I tried.<br \/>\nIn the end, I couldn&#8217;t help but accept that I just need the inspiration and variety of travel. I advanced my ticket to be in Amsterdam for two weeks before flying on to Italy and Miami at the end of February. And while I&#8217;m still here, I&#8217;ll try to consciously manage my energy by going to my favorite co-working space in the city for my much-needed dose of inspiration, people, and lights.
