Thank you for writing this! It's reassuring to read that you used to battle constant, low-grade anxiety and a fear that you wouldn't find success or stability in journalism. I often feel that myself as a young politics reporter, and it's tough to imagine I could ever come out the other side. So nice to read an optimistic story about journalism for a change.
What a nice, thoughtful, eloquent little mini-memoir. It is really good on both the necessity and the limits of ambition — the sense of calm and satisfaction conveyed at the end is beautiful and not available to those who let themselves by completely consumed by ambition. Look forward to reading you for many years to come.
