Yes, yes, yes. I wrote about this recently; a soft rejection of this idea that we have to choose one path now *or else.* I believe in life's multiplicity, in second chances, in take backs! Thank you for being in this camp of thought with me <3

FULL BODY CHILLS!! Absolutely beautiful words and thoughts. Whenever I talk about my career path, I always find myself describing the feeling of choice paralysis. I know I can grab one fig and savor it, comforted by the fact that I can return to the tree (if I'm quick enough) to choose another, but the thinking is what consumes so much time. And the thought that opportunities can come and just as easily go is terrifying. So many of us are up in that tree; this piece says the fig you choose in the moment is the right one and that's what we need to hear. <3
