. In 2010, I packed my life into
“New York is a city of strivers notorious for their competitiveness, but what I found instead was a kind of relief from the constant pressure of exceptionalism. I will never be the most talented writer in this town, the most successful, the richest, the prettiest—nor will I be the least successful, the poorest, the ugliest. Trying to be better than everyone else is a loser’s bet, a surefire recipe for misery, because it’s just too tough. Instead, you must strive to be something very different: Be yourself.”
