One of my coolest first has gotta be my first leadership experience back in undergrad, first year. I was doing two degrees, business admin and a diploma in liberal arts. In the liberal arts course, we had theatre as a subject, and for finals the whole class had to perform a play. We did a short version of the Tom Cruise movie A Few Good Men.
I ended up leading the backstage team and honestly it was pretty awesome. Never thought someone like me, whoās all about business and finance, would get their first leadership role in theatre. So yeah, thatās my coolest first!

First when I was about four I wanted to be a standup comedian, then I wanted to work with Greenpeace, then I wanted to be a novelist, then I wanted to be a Broadway star but I have literally no ability to dance, then I wanted to be a clinical psychologist.
by high school my grades were tanking because I was skipping school a lot and not turning in any work and I saw Cirque du Soleil Quidam and wanted to move to Montreal and be a circus clown despite having no athletic skill.
Then I wanted to be a hand model which is what I would tell my school guidance counselors when they would angrily ask what I was going to do with my life. Would have said a regular model but Iām short so I wanted to be realistic but now I am a hair model (not as a career) so thatās fun. I think Iāve made out pretty well for myself for a girl with no directionā¦

During my senior year of high school, I designed a set for a conceptual theatre production of The Sound of Music and made a white model for it in 1/4ā scale. I love that model to death. When I look at it, I feel so sure that Iām on the right career path for me.

this is one of the few places online that actually feels good to use. I didnāt expect to enjoy it this much, but itās thoughtful, chill, and way more human than the usual social apps.

I really believe our names shape our lives. not just what people call you, but how the world sees you, responds to you, reflects you back to yourself.
If mine was different, I donāt think Iād be the same person at all. maybe nothing around me would be the same either.
It sounds unhinged but I donāt care. and yeah, it keeps me up at night more than it should

Honestly, most people I know arenāt really thinking about it that deeply. Everyoneās just tired, and if AI helps get stuff off their plate quicker, theyāre gonna use it.
