"I appreciated the sentiment but it mostly got me thinking that we should do a sanity check on where society derives our common wisdom from instead." - the way I laughed at this (as a writer/"hermit in residence")

“Facing this much opposition when you really want something is one thing. Not really wanting the things I was pursuing made it 10x worse.” SO real. Great read! Also love the subtle Hogsalt diss

Ayah - such a great read, as someone in their early 20s and is already struggles with the desire to be “free”as we live a life we yearn for and the grueling pursuit of money. Although I don’t think anyone will ever be able to give me a “good” or “right” answer, I look forward to reading more about your tales abroad and your experiences tied to identity, dreams, and desires.

Really resonate with this: “I could be pragmatic and comfortable or I could be a poor and destitute dreamer.”
