The Crossroads of Should and Must
by Elle Luna
An illustrated essay, expanded from a viral post, on the difference between the life others expect (should) and the one you are called to (must), and the practical fears (money, time, space, vulnerability) that keep people on the first path. Short, beautiful and honest about the costs.
Read it if…
you feel the pull of a different path and want a small, encouraging push.
Skip it if…
you want a career plan; this is a nudge.
Three things you will actually use
- Should is other people's story; must is yours.
- Money, time, space and vulnerability are the four fears.
- Start the must as a side practice, not a leap.
Do this first
Write your 'shoulds' in one column and your 'musts' in another, and see which list is longer.
Our verdict
A small, beautiful push.
