Something I tried to do in 2023 and carried over to 2024 was build on previous successes, but now I'm wondering if that was a trap - if all the critical and commercial success I've had in my life just built a cage for my future self made of the expectations of readers and employers. What if I cared less about hitting previous highs again - or what others rate as the highs - and more about just being happy in myself and in my work? What would that look like?
