burnt out so badly last year i couldn't read a full page. i quit, slept for what felt like a month, and now i'm building a tiny business from my kitchen table — relearning how to work without destroying myself.

i quit my corporate job in june because i completely lost myself in it. trying to figure out who i am outside of work while slowly building my own thing — a little online vintage shop. the freedom is great, the money panic less so. trying to learn how to handle it.

i want a quiet life in the countryside and i want to build a company. both, at the same time. i'm done choosing between ambition and peace. i'd rather spend the next few years proving they can co-exist.
