Ali!!!!!! I loved reading this so much. I audibly lol'd at "Please don’t close this tab yet lol." and reread the line of "..each step feels unfamiliar. But it will feel like you are wearing your own shoes instead of someone else’s.." a few times. I admire your courage so much and I know you are going to change the world!! Memoirs don't get written about people who've had linear paths. :) The world is cheering you on!!!

Ali... this was vulnerable, honest, and interesting. Thank you for pouring your thoughts and emotions on the page. I'm at an interesting spot in my life right now too. I'm not feeling fulfilled at work, I just did my first open mic, and I want something different with my life. Excited to keep reading these.

Enjoyed your candid writing and admire the brave steps you've taken towards finding your path, and sharing the honesty of it all. I also really like the analogy to your own shoes - when the fit is right, you tend to move with ease and speed! Excited to follow your journey, no doubt great things in store for those that do the difficult work of "finding out". Good luck with your Standup!
