"I want to have my feet in the dirt and my head in the stars. Yeah, the stars here are dim and the dirt is covered in concrete – but, like I said, the more I get over myself, the more I like having something hard to do."
This was awesome. Great essay Taylor! Really enjoyed the read :)
"Because as Aquinas says, every choice is a renunciation. Every bagel eaten is a McMuffin foregone. Every moment of Netflix binged is a mountain unclimbed."
"I’ve been adding some dirt to my life." Love the sentiment, and this piece which escapes sentimentality and aims for a truth. I'd much rather stare at dim stars than load a Uhaul, too.

Your encouragement and help on this was key. Thank you.
