While I’m not close to that mid-life mark yet, I’ve been thinking a lot about how to understand and translate my value when my career hasn’t exactly followed a linear path. Reading your words makes me feel I don’t need to fret too much and the answer will come to me. Maybe my ego needs to step back too.
Ps: hi. So nice to encounter a familiar face here :)

What a beautiful piece of writing, Eric.
