Where Do You Want to Be?

This week I talk about the very human experience of looking for your reflection in someone else's record of the night, what I actually found when I looked, and the distinction that changed everything for me: I wasn't missing from the night. I was missing from the record of the night. Those are two different things.

This week I talk about:

• The event, the Instagram carousel, and the very human pang that followed
• Why I looked anyway even though I told myself not to
• What I actually found in those videos
• The difference between being missing from the action and being missing from the record
• Where you actually want to be this season (not where you think you should be)

Your mission should you choose to accept it: intentionally get in the photo record when it feels good to you. And move toward where you actually want to be. My hope is that this episode helps move you to the dance floor.

Where do you want to be this season? Come tell me in the comments on Substack.
