Amazing content - thanks, Joseph! So many parts stuck with me, even though I'm long past my 30s. So many universal truths.

I'm fascinated by your mention of what's going on in the interior design space, re: “what about the next buyer?...Are you living for some hypothetical stranger you don’t know, who may or may not buy your home years from now, or are you enjoying your space, your way, right now?"

So well put, but also sad.

Awww, thanks so much Jennifer! And yeah, as a person who loves shelter TV, it depresses me that the takeaways are always to lean into beige or utility for the next person, or for the flip, instead of enjoying the home you're in. It always gets me.

Sometimes, bad (boxed) wine happens to good people! And sometimes it is not even worth cutting the fruit to make it into sangria ;)

Oh god, the way I recently finished a $20 bag of locally roasted coffee even though it was so sour I eventually became certain the flavor could not have been intentional.

Good read. And good move throwing out the bad wine - there's nothing worse. :)
