Hi reader,

I’m endlessly fascinated by twins or similar people

Who go through the same circumstances

Sometimes the same trauma

But one ends up feeling relatively fine

Being centered in their life

And the other ends up feeling lost

Unsure of their worth

It’s as if they both learned something

Just very different lessons 🚸

I understand: It’s tough to maintain your visual quality while running your solopreneurship or small business. I’m a writer, not a designer, and it took me a while to build my network and get support for my graphics and such. That’s why I recommend Design Pickle, a one-stop shop to request, manage, and deliver design work with vetted designers. There’s no reason why you have to wear all the hats.

I used to think it was just our dispositions

Kind of like DNA

But the older I get

The more I think it has to do with the systems we build.

Do you have healthy coping mechanisms for your pain?

Is there at least one person you can call to support your burden?

What methods are in place to center your weight when it feels insermountable?

These systems determine what beliefs we take with us even after something’s done.

Do you feel stronger?

Do you feel unlovable?

Do you feel helpless?

Those narratives become our PhD

And the thesis, the filter, through which the rest of our lives flow 🎓
