…happy birthday!!…what a thoughtful reflection and reframing… in the tech world so much of goal setting is about unreachability…the first time i ever set myself a goal i couldn’t hit i was confused (still am kind of)…but there is a lot of charm and utility in having direction and motivation to do things that might not be attainable…so many days I feel like I an running down the wrong dream…i’m no closer to actualization on so many attempted anythings…then i look around and i have bits and pieces of all those things…to layer metaphor in response to this essay…i am surrounded by seeds and flowers…
Happy Birthday!! I love this reflection. Nothing wrong with goals but I do find myself appreciating the tiny joys of life more with each year.
Thank you! I love goals just as much as the next girl but you gotta pick your battles!
