Sharky substack era 🫶🫶 Loved this take on the fig tree dilemma (and am always a sucker for a Plath reference). Really resonated with your point that we are the sum of our choices.

AGH so good. What a needed message about relinquishing control, and letting the anxiety about decision making go. I feel this so hard. so glad that sketching lets you work through that- it makes me think about how I can do that in my life.... (and love ur sketches)
