My mom and I used to listen to records, read, and take train rides across the country in the summer. It was a very chill life. She didn't expose me to anything that was ahead of my development, but she expected me to adjust to her world - she did not expect to adjust to mine. ↗

Very often a job will come along that speaks to the place you're in as a person at that very moment. And usually once I've done it I feel like that part is over. ↗
