Ooh. Daunt as a grey dear makes so much sense to my brain.

I am currently daunted by the fact that I have been asked to apply for the disabled producers lab through the National Screen Institute. It began as being asked to apply to offer support to the producers who would be in the lab. But after I applied they sent me the most beautiful rejection letter that asked me instead to apply for the lab itself!

I feel overwhelmed by the fact that they think I’m capable. I feel daunted. But I’m going to apply anyways, because they see something in me, and I believe that with the right supports, I am capable of making wondrous things happen.

Congratulations on your short term contract and paying rent! I feel that push and I’m loving both my jobs, but I’m trying to find a balance that won’t try to kill me this time around.

*Grey deer (I wrote deer the animal and it autocorrected to the term of familiarity ‘dear’, which I never use because it feels condescending)
