Hello!
Thank you for paying to support my writing.
In exchange, I’ll tell you a secret.
I don’t know what I’m doing.
It’s my third Monday free of corporate life. I still reach for my work computer like it’s a phantom limb. Last night I checked my calendar to see what meetings I had coming up this week.
I’m used to defined paths. Hard paths, yes. But paths where I understood what success meant. Valedictorian. Yale. Get a job in New York. Join the Peace Corps. Graduate with a master’s degree from a top-rated foreign policy program by 30. Work in DC. Become a director.
