Nobody Tells You Watching Kids Grow Up Is the Fastest Way to Feel Time

A birthday party, a best friend's daughter turning 3, and a friend with a big MTA exam tomorrow. Today was one of those days that reminded me why community is everything. I'm sharing the full debrief, right before bed. You'll hear about what the conductor exam is actually like, why starting as a civil servant changed my whole career trajectory, what happened when I walked around with a mic asking people to leave birthday messages for Maya, and what the kids said that genuinely gave me hope. If this made you smile, drop a comment and tell me about a moment this week that reminded you why your people matter.
