Hallelujah, originality is the new conformity. Your life is the ultimate project, and your singular goal is to enjoy it in the way that only you know how (PS, really appreciating all this Aquarius / Leo identity energy after yesterday's full moon - thanks for vibing!)

I'm pretty sure my unhappiness is directly correlated with the extent to which I've been waiting my whole life for permission to follow this exact advice
This may be the most validating thing I have ever read (as a person who writes a newsletter about glamour, is getting super into herbalism, and has an abiding interest in the history of the English language)
This is amazing! I actually wrote my thesis in college on why we should embrace confusion in literature (focusing on Gertrude Stein's "Tender Buttons"), so I LOVED reading this!!
As a girl with ADHD I have always felt so insecure about how I'm just projects and vibes, and don't seem to have a particularly normal or straightforward path to things. or can't use LinkedIn correctly or run 10k every week. This article makes me feel so much better about my freaky existence
I just came across this article after a YT video. Thank you so much for writing, it's like what I was thinking but you put it into words. I always felt awful for having weird interests that dont align with my career or life. But this made me feel so much better.

wow, truly the deepest HONOR! I’m do my best to continue tap dancing at the threshold of insanity on main 🤍
Yes to this. I write fashion but with a pov that includes art, literature, music, culture and social commentary. Complexity over vanilla any day
Thank you so much Michelle for a nudge to be weird. I'm sooo weird at my core...
HELL YEA
