I hope those professional setbacks look like a turning point when you look back a year or two from now. I wish you and your family the best and look forward to reading about your next adventure!
Looking forward to your next series! I hear you about X, but if a break from there allows for more content here, then that is a good trade off to make.
A quote from Seneca that didn't make it into the essay:
"It is not that we have a short space of time, but that we waste much of it. Life is long enough, and it has been given in sufficiently generous measure to allow the accomplishment of the very greatest things if the whole of it is well invested. But when it is squandered in luxury and carelessness, when it is devoted to no good end, forced at last by the ultimate necessity we perceive that it has passed away before we were aware that it was passing. So it is — the life we receive is not short, but we make it so, nor do we have any lack of it, but are wasteful of it. Just as great and princely wealth is scattered in a moment when it comes into the hands of a bad owner, while wealth however limited, if it is entrusted to a good guardian, increases by use, so our life is amply long for him who orders it properly."

That’s exactly how I’m approaching it. Nervous but excited. Thanks for the support, my friend.

I appreciate that, Adam, and as always, thank you for all the support!
