Pivot

Things don’t always go as planned in life, which is normal. Otherwise the word ‘plan’ wouldn’t exist, things would just work. Sometimes you get thrown a curveball, and need to learn to pivot. 

Enter WGI. The plan was to go from Berlin, to Montreal, to Chicago, to San Francisco. The plan. Life gave me Berlin and Montreal, and then a curveball. A ball shaped like a working visa for the US, or more specifically, I wasn’t thrown that ball at all. Sadly, this means I’ve had to dip out of WGI, as this expedition has grown to be less worldwide and more Europe-centric with some Canadian spice thrown in. Better learn to pivot. 

Instead of moving on to Listen in Chicago, I’ve gravitated back to Koto Studios in Berlin, where I’ll be writing nice things till the middle of October. Can’t get rid of me it would seem. 

I’ve learned new things and a lot about myself, and the following is my completely biased, ungrounded advice. Stay hungry. Say what you mean. Back your own ideas. Hone your craft. Own your craft. Be kind to others. Be kind to yourself. 

Thank you WGI. Thank you Butchershop.
