“Nobody is coming to save you” but your day literally gets better after you consume art made by other people. You hang w friends & you’re no longer suicidal, even if just for a few minutes. They’re lying to you about the significance of community. People are saving you EVERYDAY!
before i went into an interview recently, someone gave me advice that stayed with me throughout my recruiting process:
the point of an interview is *not* actually to get a job. it’s to reveal as much of yourself as possible, and understand as much as possible about the company/role, to see if there’s real alignment
there’s such a tendency in interviews to become performative, to say the right thing because you can usually intuit what they want to hear. that you care about X mission or Y role when really you deeply don’t. but getting an offer for something that isn’t actually a fit or what you want is ultimately not in anyone’s interest, neither yours nor the company’s
the more honest both parties can be, even within all the constraints, the better
i'm in love with this quote:
"if you're persistent, you'll get it. if you're consistent, you'll keep it. and if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."
I think this where we go wrong. We don't need a purpose/a heaven behind the finish line to take delight & meaning in the now. You are here NOW and that's beautiful & a fact. Take pleasure in it, wisdom, delight, curiosity.
Matatu strike to continue.
