• There is no script for life. Marriage isn't right for everyone, a 9-5 isn't best for everything, one job for the rest of your life or having kids or living in one place won't suit all.

It goes against conventional thinking, but with staggering rates of depression, marital breakdowns, burnout, anxiety and purposelessness, maybe we need some more unconventional thinking.
