Excuse me delving into your post backlog, I just... wow I need more of your writing in my brain. As a 25yo this one really hits.
I'm copying what you said about basting into my journal, so I can look at it and remind myself when I'm feeling that what-am-I-doing-with-my-life burnout.
This was such an excellent essay. I’ve also learnt that there’s no graceful way of being ambitious — especially in an industry where you’re required to pivot before the inevitable retrenchment/layoff. I related to so much in here and I admire your perspective and ability to adapt to these unforeseen changes. It’s a trait that I still have a hard time cultivating :( But this was a really lovely read. Thank you for your insights!
the world is a little less whelming knowing i'm not the only one pushing the damn rock

Based on “pivot, pivot, pivot, and forever-moving horizon”, I think you’ll love the podcast between Brian Chesky and Jay Shetty. Bear with me.
Heather Loves Love would love it, too.
If you have a spare 1:40 in your 31 days of June:

Thank you, Khanya! It's so funny (not always funny haha though) how much we're all experiencing the same things.
