- a thought or two about freedom
what freedom looks like
are you looking for freedom from or freedom to?
freedom to buy whatever you want? or freedom from the desire to buy whatever you want?
choose carefully.

life threw me a curveball this week.
ive been applying to copywriting internships to work in an ad agency. TLDR i had an interview, didn’t go too well, and basically I gotta work harder and put more effort it.
the writer i was interviewing for said “Armaan, you think you’re in the game, but you’re not even watching from the sidelines.”
that stuck with me.
and it stung. i thought my work was better than what it actually is, or at least what he perceives it to be.
but nonetheless, we move on. and we integrate the lessons.
that is the way.
