“Hunger From Guilt” (Kingston’s Short Story #11 [Age 19])

The culture shock thing is just something you need to embrace. It's like getting used to cold showers, there is no way to learn it easily, you can mentally prepare, but you need to do the work to get used to it. Each subsequent time gets a little easier.

Work, school, work, school. I got blown off by my professor as being nothing special because I wasn't. I was in a premature rat race where I put in 100% of my efforts towards meeting obligations and 0% towards going after dreams.

“I Didn’t Know How to Do Laundry” Wiser Next Week Intro

Making the move away from Corporate America and jumping into the vast unknown has been the best decision I've ever made in my life. I've learned more by doing rather then years sitting in a classroom (or standing in an office).
