The following is an excerpt from my 2020 letter 3.
- Starting is easy finishing is hard.
- Vulnerability is the key to connecting with others.
- Let people help you.
- Sleep matters, you can only burn the candle so long until you get burnt.
- Much of adult life is spent unconsciously grappling with, but seldom understanding in full, the seeds of childhood experience in the fully grown desires we nurture today.
- If you allow it to, loneliness will poison your thoughts and drive you mad far sooner than you think.
- Over intellectualizing is a stand-in for action. There is no substitute for lived experience.
- Human connection is a fundamental value to me.
- Set aside time regularly each week to reach into the future and imagine a life you think is admirable.
- Life always has problems, the scale simply changes the older you get.
