The first item on your to-do list isn’t to know. It’s to trust yourself wildly. Don’t turn away from the feelings that compelled you to write to me, even if they scare or confuse you. There is such a thing as a quarter-life crisis, and you’re in the midst of one. That’s excellent news. It means you’re already doing what you’ve asked me to tell you how to do. Go forward on your instincts.
