I use to think about status a lot. Before the pandemic, I had a plan to leave my job at the food pantry to focus on writing, consulting projects and my general caché of miscellaneous cooking jobs. It was a moment where I thought I could see a future for myself both compelling and financially viable, two great tastes that taste great together. Status felt like an aura that could get me into rooms, into conversations, into opportunities. Recognition begets possibilities. Do you know what possibility feels like? It’s like having the best breeze behind you, it offers daydreams when life feels like every day will just be the same. It offers hope, it allows us to dream.
Being in my 20s, it seems like everyone is in a race to do the coolest shit, go to the most exotic places, and constantly be evolving. It feels like everyone is in a rush and nobody wants to miss out, and theres a guilt about staying put and cultivating a foundation. Stability is underrated and underrepresented in media for sure. Thanks for sharing!
