“Nastily telling someone they’re doing it wrong, or ignoring them altogether, is to engage in a kind of pernicious hypocrisy. If you’ve ranked up to the point where gatekeeping is even a possibility, you certainly owe your ascent at least in some part to a few naive souls having been willing to take a chance on Younger You.”

“Instead of looking around my living space with gratitude for the soft comfort I’ve built for myself, inflected with my peculiar tastes and preferences, I see lack. And that dissatisfaction becomes a sort of lingering fog, dampening my experience of the world.”
