I literally thought to myself today - isn’t it interesting that we have all these rights of passage to go through. And then when we’ve hit them all, we’re on the other side like ‘I didn’t need to go through any of them.’

Now I see them as invitations, but going through them… they were not. That pressure is such a great way to put it!

You are simply amazing as a writer and voice actor. I connect with so much of what you write and put in YouTube. Lines like:

You can love people and still outgrow the version of yourself who loved them.

You can mourn a dream and still admit you never really wanted it.

You can build something beautiful and still say, “This isn’t mine.”

Are brilliant. Your insights help make sense of life. Thank you!

I have been struggling with my career as I took wrong major due to external pressure. This article is helping me redeem from a mistake I never made on my own.

Your articles and videos are so timeless. Each time they soothe and make me smile in different ways.

Glad I found you! Stay this awesome! ❣️❤️

"...measure progress based on how far you have fallen behind and not how far you have come..."

Such profoundness in these words.

Such a beautiful piece! I turned 33 a few months ago, and I made the active decision to stop chasing after a lifetime of races with arbitrary finish lines.
