Oh this is beautiful, Robyn. Reminds me of a lot of conversations I’ve had with friends lately re validation, insecurities and the constant need to do more and do it better.
I think we’re all slowly realizing we’ve optimized everything so much we didn’t leave any room for joy, rest, true introspection and moments of stillness. Loved the parallel of LotR with the Oura ring 🤣😆
Couldn't agree more, I've been on a journey to find more joy, rest, introspection and moments of stillness. My biggest challenge is prioritizing it, rather than forcing it into the leftover time at the end of the day when I'm already exhausted🥴
This was such a great read and made me think of imposter syndrome. I love the message at the end about being enough for the rest of the world vs yourself
This hit for me right in the millennial angst. We almost learned to hate happiness as an impediment to further optimization and improvement. Enough becomes intentionally elusive and then we wonder why we aren’t happy. Good read!
Yes. Seriously. It's the saying about ambitious people are never satisfied - for too long I let it excuse a relentless pursuit of optimization. No more.

Wrote that one with a few tears in my eyes, so you know it was from the deepest place in my heart.
