Tbh, I didn’t really like your writing at first. I thought you said a lot without really saying anything new or thoughtful. It’s only now that I am starting to realize that maybe I dislike all these platitudes not because there are boring, but because they force me to accept the fact that the truth can be this simple. Maybe searching for more nuance, complexity and insight is just procrastinating on real progress.

So thx for that, I guess.

Hey Cynthia,

Really appreciate you taking the time to write that. I apologise if it comes as a disappointment that I don't always have something novel to impart; but, I believe that in the grand scheme of things, learning doesn't necessarily require novelty.

Simply being reminded that you are not alone on this journey and that you should keep plugging away at whatever it is that you're trying to do can be all the encouragement you need.

Just like taking a shower or brushing our teeth every day is necessary, so too is practicing introspection and learning. Just because we did it yesterday doesn't imply we don't need it today.
