Hello hello,
Happy Fall. It’s that time of year when everything feels in transition, whether life is changing dramatically or not. It’s still nice and hot in Austin and feels like a warm New England summer (my favorite season).
Recently, I’ve been acutely aware of how infinitely deep every single topic goes. People spend lifetimes understanding, dissecting, reading, writing, watching, and building in one space, for one niche. When I’m exposed to stories about those people, I get an immediate jolt of energy. The infinity of learning is so motivating.
With that, I’ve noticed myself gravitating toward certain areas, certain aspects of web development, literature, and physical activity. When I was in college, I said yes to everything, burning myself out at times. But now, I’m finding myself saying “no” to the mediocre stuff, and “heck yeah” for the few things that bring me joy or that I’ve defined as a professional priority.
