We spend too much time trying to fit into boxes that were never made for us. Make sure you don’t lose yourself in someone else’s expectations.

I’m still super bummed about the @InkyardPress news. Seriously the best team I’ve ever worked with. And I am sad that I won’t be able to pub with them again. May all the wonderful folks find positions they deserve and soon. Cheers to Inkyard 🍻
