Imagine just being yourself pursuing many things for the sake of your grand vision, only to interact with a system that asks "why?" more times than "why not?". As if the generalism wasn't isolating enough, now you have to develop a new language to explain to others what "all your trades" are.

That's what this edition feels like. A validation and a translator. Both extremely necessary for this reader. Thanks for your work bud 🙏🏾

You’ve captured the tension so well i.e. between being fully yourself and being understood by systems not built for that kind of range.

Grateful that this edition met you where you are. Your words here are a reminder of why the work matters. Thank you 🙏🏾

Thanks Rhoda. I think more people need to see range as a strength, not a distraction. Glad it landed with you!
