“having it all”? i think that phrase is fairly subjective, of course. having it all is definitely not something i’ve ever strived for because for me it represents boomer american ideals of the american dream. i know that’s not what it really means but that’s what it is in my head. i can’t own a home and my student loan debt will never go away until i die.

“having it all” means living comfortably to me. getting by. not surviving, but enjoying the time i have here on earth. hanging out with friends, eating good food, seeing new places, and doing new things. those are the things that are important to me.

and like … i’d like to publish a book one day.
