Incredible! I've been reflecting on how many things I quit as a young child/teen...this found me at the perfect time. We are all just experimenting in life <3 this was a great read

How can we know until we try and fail and then try something else imo let us try it all

Okay, Meredith -- this gave me CHILLS. The timing is insane and so deeply resonant. Especially the bit about the relationship with alcohol / restaurants...I just had my last day at Leon's yesterday - quitting that felt *so* hard but also *so* needed. Quitting *is* a necessary part of creative practice. I'm learning it's also a way to conserve creative energy. It *is* expansion. Yes, yes, yes!

Ever grateful to be sharing this time-space plane that we're on together. Sending you so much love and thanks for your words!

Also did not expect the shout out -- thanks for that too! <3

Jordan! Omg! That is something to celebrate and damn do we need to. Saying no to some things means giving space to say yes to others and that is one of the biggest and hardest lessons I’ve received as of late

As someone that has felt immense shame and guilt around being a quitter, this was a comforting read. Thank you
