Wow, she does sound amazing. And yes, that is very much the sort of life I would like in broad thematic outline, if not in the particulars. (Relatedly, I've heard a lot of people say that work you do when you don't need the income is qualitatively different than work you do at least in part for the money, even when it's the same work, substantively speaking. That makes a lot of sense to me. Though as I said to C the other day, it's pretty ironic that in pursuit of my goal of opting out of a lot of capitalism, I have to be really really good at capitalism first).

Anyway, I'd love to meet her someday, but perhaps not next week. I'm honestly not ready to start thinking too specifically about what life will be like when I can design my own happiness. We're 5-6ish years out, and I'd sort of . . . rather not know yet? If that makes sense.
