I can’t tell you how much your writing has spoken to me, Isabel! These topics of commitment and choice and potential have been stewing for a while in my brain and I’m so grateful to read your work. Thank you, and here’s to 2025 being the year of making choices!
Great writing. You convey your ideas very effectively. I feel like you were describing one of my primary challenges through this article and presented a compelling perspective. I have this certain fear in finality of decisions that I need to get over, or maybe it’s finality in how others respond to my decisions. I need to ruminate on this, thank you.
Lovely post. This has been a big shift in my mindset too. I think that reading 4000 weeks was the first time it stuck with me — he does a good job of articulating the finitude of life, the impossibility of doing everything and the value of doing *something*
Wow, incredibly timely. My word of the year this year is Commitment (and last year, funnily enough, was Courage).

"I can only be in one place at a time, so I might as well be there (or here, rather) as fully as possible. "
Living is the potential is whimsical, but live in the ACTUAL is rewarding it's reals, it gives results.
Wow so eye opening
Nice article! Love it!!❤️
I have found the perfect page because I am presently in my exploring the potential era. This feels like a balm.
Reading this made me realise that I am scared of commuting because I'm scared of failing.
But as you said, indulging in the protection of one's own potential is it's own trick.😔
can't explain how excited I get when I see you release a new essay. you have my full attention.
oh i love this

such an important reminder and one that I (and many of us) need seared into our brains eventually !!

Recommend it if you haven’t read it!
What a great reminder Isabel - I have to constantly remind myself this
This is such a great reminder! Thank you for writing.
A+ resonance, no notes. Thanks for this reminder to start 25 :)
Absolutely love this. And feel the juiciness and rewards that come from feeling of making those commitments, vs weighing options indefinitely ✨
