I love this! I often think about how optionality is the real life exhausting factor. I sometimes wish I could just commit to my decisions.
One thing I may not agree with though. As I have been in the never ending hopeless haunt for a meaningful job -aka food journalism full time and not freelancing, I have gotten rejections by every single job I truly wanted (not many and I have done many many many interviews). As I keep seeing this happening (for years now, and specially this last year of unemployment where I truly decided to only apply to jobs I would enjoy) I can see doors keep on being closed. Rejection has never been so strong. And I keep asking myself « is it really because something better is waiting? And where? » because I see myself ending jobless and doing something I hate because im.... out of options.
What is your opinion on this Sarah? Would love to hear :)
I love your post this week. I think of this often in life choices. I've tried to remember, when making big decisions, that this is just for now. For those of us who think in black and white, it's hard to think this way but it works. You can always choose something else.
You’ve learned some good lessons at a young age. A lot of this really resonates with me. Every time I jumped, the universe caught me. Every time it seemed that something bad was happening, the final result was better than I could have imagined. I’m so grateful for the life I live. Thanks so much for a thought-provoking article.

This is something my husband has struggled with as well! Thank you for sharing.
