Work on a variety of creative things
More platforms than ever to experiment and make money directly (no gatekeepers)
No meetings if I don’t want
Take time off whenever I want (been mostly off for five months with my newborn)
Meet cool people on non traditional paths
Confront financial fears directly and gain comfort
Can travel somewhere for three months and not have to do “vacation mode” stuff

Learn about your insecurities and desires more clearly
Practice different modes of agency and gain more resilience to life stressors
Can decide to earn less (and trade for time, hobbies, relationships)
6+ years. Having a helluva time. Crazy to see how things compound over time too.
