The Power Of Naivety, And Why I Am Choosing Ignorance
When I was a pudgy 16-year-old I told my girlfriend that I would win a fight against this 6f10” athlete we both knew. I was completely un-self-aware of my weaknesses and full of entirely misplaced confidence. I thought I was the best and could do anything. As I’ve...
Why I Have Stopped Being A Digital Nomad (for the time being)
