It’s been about 3 weeks since I finished up at buildspace school. It’s kind of a space where ~30 people (who are somewhat related to tech/startups/media) work really hard on making their dreams come true. No lie, it was the best 3-month period of my life. I’ve been theorizing for a couple years on what I’d need to be consistently happy and fulfilled. I got all of it in those 3 months: Happiness Criteria #1: Work on something I care about → I was making videos to inspire young people with tech. Happiness Criteria #2: Be physically active → We played basketball every other day. Happiness Criteria #3: Being around people I love → If you know, you know. These were just some of the greatest people I could’ve wished for. Now that I’m back in Toronto, I still have bits of those things that make me happy, but it’s just not quite the same. I’m always somewhere in the middle in my hometown — between medium-happy and mildly sad. Thanks for reading A Ship in the Middle of Nowhere! Subscribe for fr
