Off topic.

I feel like the last eight months have been a continuous series of experiments where I just go with my gut and see what happens. I think I’ve always looked at life as a giant chess board and played out every move in my head to determine what I should do right now. I’m not sure I’ve ever won a chess match though - even against like nine year olds. It’s embarrassing. Good at chess-related metaphors though. New approach? Checkers. Seeing where I want to go, and running at it full force. I’ve never felt more alive or fulfilled. Obstacles will come, and I’m not blind to them either, but my instinct seems to be consistently righter than whatever my thought process was before.
