Week 25, 2024
What do you want? And how can you go about getting at it? I am on that journey with you, wandering around in the dark, trying to make sense of how to "do this right".

Your path is your path
And while it may be informed by the good and bad choices of all those who came before you, you (and you only) bear responsibility for your path.
