July 29 Waning Moon

My days have become wildly more intentional and it's almost exhausting for every move, every thought, and every moment for me to ask myself: How does this activity contribute toward my goals? The discipline is necessary and yet exhausting.

Archival work seems like a very promising career path to me. I cold emailed a slew of archivists in New York yesterday, and within 20 minutes on a Saturday night (at 10:30pm), I received a reply from an archivist. She offered to talk to me about next steps in archival careers. This was very exciting to me and the unlikeliness of this interaction affirmed that this path is, for certain, choosing me back. I think it is necessary to start connecting this work to institutions doing similar work. I have a few institutions in mind already but it would be huge to get a partnership with a library. I think I can do this within a couple of weeks.

I'm still trying to figure out how to incorporate my purpose speed dating events seamlessly into this tour. A friend told me that it might not be necessary for me to know that yet. I think I'll take this and hold it close because it resonates.

Later that day

Later that day

Stay curious sis. Don't ever let that escape you in every room, in every interview, in every aspect of your work.
