CEO in Sleep Mode, Spirit in Respawn

 BGM: Faint school bell, classroom banter, chalk against board - Koro Sensei's laughter echoing in the background.

Dear Nakama,
Today I was not a girl boss.
I was just... a girl.
In meetings. In calls. In a loop of "Let me know if you have any questions".

My Parallel Threads didn't even get a glance. No order checks. No design drafts. No web page tweaks. Nothing.
Just back-to-back KT sessions where I passed on knowledge like some sage old NPC in MMOPRG - expect instead of giving someone a magic sword, I was handing over process documents and screenshots.

By the time the 5th call ended, I realized...
I'd been CEO of Someone Else's Schedule all day.
Not mine.
Not my brand's.
Not my dreams.

And then guilt slithered in. That "uh-oh" feeling when you've ignored your little spark too long. But today, I didn't fight it.
I acknowledged it, turned off the laptop, and hit play on  Assassination Classroom.

Because sometimes, to reboot the spirit, you need to be a student again.
You need a Koro Sensei.
A little chaos. A little laughter.
A reminder that even the most ordinary days can be part of an extraordinary story.

There was this one scene - Koro Sensei standing in the classroom, saying something weirdly poetic about failure and potential. And I paused.

Maybe I didn't create today.
Maybe I didn't ship or market or hustle.
But heck - 
I lived a CEO day in disguise.
The kind that reminds you why the creative ones burn out fast: because we pour our soul into everything.
And even when our cup runs dry, we still think of pouring.

So guess what?
I'm gonna design a cloth today.
Even if it's a 2 AM sketch on crumpled paper.
Even if I fall asleep halfway.
Even if it sucks.

Because being a dreamer doesn't mean you're always on fire.
Sometimes it means relighting the match with trembling fingers and Koro Sensei's laughter in the background.

To the tired dreamers:

You're still the main character.
You're still on the path.
Even if you took a detour today.
Even if all you did was breathe.

In short:
Parallel Threads: No update, still alive.
Next design: Sketching tonight. You'll see it soon.
