Hello Cissy,

Thank you very much for this article. It really resonated with my own fraught relationship with ambition. Similar to what you have written in the article, I tried to prove my self-worth through my work, which led me to disappointment, a sense of worthlessness, and depression. Now, thanks to years of therapy, I am trying to recalibrate my life and try to live it more according to my own values.

Anyway, thank you again for the piece!

If we stop pretending we’re driving the car, we can let go of the wheel and notice where the car is taking us.
