So I ended up looking up stuff about Tyler the Creator and had a whole research session about him. Then I came to the conclusion that he’s a year younger than I am and we have a lot in common like being weirdos.

This piece resonates with me like a lot of your stuff. I think lately though some of it misses because there is a gender bias. I was reading some of the stuff he did and I’m imagining how it would be perceived in Tyler, the Creator was a woman.

I think that’s where I get lost because what happens is I feel sometimes my gender holds me back.

That’s a great insight I had never crossed my mind

Nonetheless, I loved what you wrote and it caused me to do research which is great. Academics unite!

I completely agree. That line from Ortega is a more dramatic and responsible way of saying "Go with the flow" 😁 But both imply the same thought of doing your best, but also listen to where things take you. Experience them with open arms and truly live with curiosity and wonder 💯❤️
