In my 30s, I no longer want to hustle. I want morning walks, followed by slow cups of coffee. I want less screen time and more face to face interaction with people I love. I want to see me smiling in pictures instead of on Zoom. That’s what I want for me.

Hi. I have a personal conspiracy theory. I work for Adweek as a social media editor. Adweek sometimes writes/tweets/Instagrams about Aviation Gin. Ryan Reynolds is behind Aviation Gin. This brings it full circle and thus, Ryan Reynolds knows I exist. Please hold your applause.
