Am I having fun? Is the most important question to ask?
Jack Raines
I think that like the fun, like anything else in life, is very stage specific, and like what I found is to be fun at twenty two, or like especially twenty one in college is like much everyone I find fun at twenty nine.
Jack Raines
I think the way that I've experienced it is like if you chase the thing that like used to be fun and find yourself getting more anxious or unsettled going after that thing now, it's a very good sign that like the thing you should be going after shifts.
