Loved this essay, Baxter. Extremely relatable for me as I just quit my corporate job to travel and write full-time.

This line, "Not forging my own path in my early twenties is irreversible, so that's actually the riskier decision." was the same reasoning I deployed to take the plunge and quit. I'm dwelling in the daily uncertainty that I'm sure you're no stranger to, but remain optimistic for the future.

Can't wait to see what comes out of this decision for you!
