i’ve been thinking a lot about freedom, and how it only really feels good between two periods of structure, almost like pure play, and how a sense of endless tomorrows + too much optionality is paralyzing
how can we structure sabbaticals between two periods of structure, how do
I graduated in Dec 2018 and had my first job lined up to start Aug 2019. The 8 months of freedom combined with the certainty of my next thing was magical. I went to Taiwan + China with family, hiked the Inca Trail in Peru to see Machu Picchu, backpacked in Patagonia, and lived in

“The lack of nuance and class analysis is a gaping hole because of the immigrant voices that are centered in media.”
Immigrant parents who are doctors and professors are not the same as immigrant parents who are working class.
