WHEN YOU'RE BECOMING YOURSELF

WHEN YOU'RE BECOMING YOURSELF

These are the letters for the years when the question underneath every other question is simply: whose life is this, actually? You'll inherit a lot of opinions before you're old enough to know they aren't yours — about what counts as success, what counts as enough, what counts as you. The letters in this part are for the quiet, uncomfortable work of pulling those threads out one by one, and deciding what you actually want to be a slave to, what you actually find wondrous, and how to hold the contradictions of being a person without trying to resolve them too fast. Start here whenever you've lost the plot of your own life.
