The only truly universal human experience is disappointment.
Aldous Huxley
Your Year of Reading the Signal. This is the year that flash of heat in your chest stops being a disruption and starts being your most reliable instrument. Something at work rubs you the wrong way in February, and instead of swallowing it or swinging at it, you get curious about what it is telling you. That curiosity leads somewhere genuinely interesting. A skill you taught yourself, quietly, for no one in particular, turns out to be exactly what a project needs by midsummer, and the satisfaction of that landing is specific and gleeful and yours. The people around you notice a new precision in how you move through friction. You are smarter with it this year. Follow the signal every time it fires. It knows more than it used to.
