You step out in a plaid skirt, a green cardigan, a baby tee, battered loafers. It’s the third day of fall. You are newly an American citizen. You feel safer, otherwise the same. You regulate your emotions with the usual tasks. You wipe your dog’s paws after it rains. You pick up gazpacho at the grocery store. You water your plants.
I read some of your recent writing where you talked about moving to SF at 19 and living in a group house with 50 other people. It was very inspiring…
I’m thinking of doing something similar. I recently graduated from uni in the UK, and the only time I felt I was with “my people” was at this Effective Altruist conference I went to. I’m not even an EA, but I felt more energised there than at any other social event. I sense that SF will have a similar vibe.
I was wondering about the actual mechanics of it… how did you find that group house, how did you find work, did you do random odd jobs etc.
what an excellent piece. i am much older than you and all of this still applies i truly enjoy your insight and beautiful work. thank you
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
your words feel like homecoming
my first fall post graduation - no school and this hits very hard
genuinely nodded along the whole time <3
Congrats on 🇺🇸!!
