love this. which reminds me point #9 of "LE NEW CONSUMER" manifesto: "If you died tomorrow, what room full of stuff with your name on it would you like to leave behind?"

the whole thing might resonate: https://open.substack.com/pub/objet/p/080-le-new-consumer-manifesto?r=2cys&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

"The first few years of what I coin ‘real adulthood’ (driven largely by new friendships and environment) were for figuring out that it was okay to stew hard-to-define questions and there was some courage and magic to be found living within uncertainty and complexity."

Thank you for so eloquently putting this new phase of life that I find myself in (aka 'real adulthood'), almost ten years after I officially became an adult. Really helping me better articulate my experience!

I enjoyed reading this, it made me think of things that define the experience of being human to me.
