I Built my Career on a Hunch
You see, I launched myself with the precarious accelerant of an Ivy League Artium Baccalaurei double-major. In one hand, Computer Science, and in the other, Literature and Creative Writing. Had I been seeing a therapist as I should have back then, they might have warned me that such a wanton display of indecision posed genuine questions about my mental health. But who needs therapy when you have code and poetry? The way my youger self figured, if one approach didn’t work out, surely the other would.
The truth is, I don’t regret choosing both majors. They have taught me valuable lessons and opened up new possibilities for me. I love being able to switch between different modes of thinking and expression. I love being able to combine my passions and create something unique and original. I love being able to appreciate both the beauty and the functionality of language and technology. And most of all, I love being able to share my experiences and insights with you, my dear readers. So thank you for following me on this journey of discovery and self-acceptance.
