I'd even say it’s healthy to change your mind! Thank you, Cate, for de-dramatizing change and job hopping. We should all follow the White Rabbit down the hole at some point!

This Post summarizes my life to perfection lol.

It's okay to change your mind. I studied somethign that has nothing to do with what I do now (law, of all things!), changed industries 5 times and started writing at 41.

This one hit home in the best possible way.

I’ve been told more than once that my choices don’t “make sense on paper,” but they’ve always made sense in my bones.

Reading this reminded me that aliveness is a better compass than approval.

I loved the way you described the nonlinear path, not as something to be justified, but something to be lived.

And honestly? The line about not needing permission… I needed to hear that today.

Thank you for putting this into words so bravely and beautifully.

Nice Caterina, you are right about not having to explain yourself to anyone. If you made a decision and you're happy with it, just go forward on your own path. In the end, the only person you are going to have to answer to when you're dying is yourself.
