reflecting on what a year without a job has been like
>As I write this, it seems that maybe what I meant by the system was actually a belief inside of me that the system was reinforcing.
That belief is something like: It’s all on me and I need to perform to survive.
I thought I was quitting my job, but now it feels like what I was actually quitting was this belief.
As Jenny Odell says, it’s been a year of doubling down on being human.
I love this bit.
And I like how you're holding the question of "what was this even about?".
