Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll check them out. Part of the fun of being new to this platform is constantly discovering all these great writers. It’s also helpful to be reminded that plenty of academics are still managing to work at the university and write here as well (or, in your case, leave and still get the attention of the university president 😂). But, I think this is when it’s helpful to return to one’s values. I spent years telling my students how much writing and reading taught me and improved my life, and that they were pursuits worth integrating into their lives regardless of major or future profession. If a colleague or any of my former/current students happen to stumble across a comment or post I’ve made, all they’ll see is me trying to follow my own advice and live as authentically as I know how to.
