“I don’t want to feel like I don’t have time or energy to try anything new because everything I have is getting poured into a job I don’t even like. I don’t want to live my life like it’s a triathlon and all that matters is getting to some imaginary ribbon. I want my life to be like making pottery. I want to enjoy it while it’s happening, not just for where it might get me.”
Service jobs.

“And everyday when I go home, I don’t even feel relieved because I know I have to go back.”
“I’m the one who dedicated the last ten years of her life… to something she hates.”

“I spent my whole life trying to get here, and why? It wasn’t what I pictured.”

This book is like what would happen in the real world to the cast of friends as time goes on after they left their New York apartments.

Audiobook plus physical book.
