Welcome to Hive, @geretim — your point about pleasing everyone making it harder to find genuine connections stood out to me. If you plan to share more short reflections like this, InLeo Threads (inleo.io) could be a good place to spark conversations around them. Has getting older changed how you handle disappointing people when you know you’re heading in the right direction?
