If I find the fulfillment, I lose the chip, and then I cant find the drive. The Song of Now/the week/the year is Feeling Whitney...

October 15, 2020 08:29 - 41 minutes - 36.6 MBHow long do I think I could go without conversing with another human? What is the longest I've gone at this point in my life.

At this stage of life I'm growing more and more worried that I won't find a happy path, that after a few years I sour on everything and need some type of change. Is that cycle go...
