I'm currently at this juncture and trying to decide whether to go back to school and start entirely fresh or to hold out for another year or two to see how things go. The anxiety of what the future may or may not hold is real and I'm just standing here, watching the distances shorten faster and faster while still not knowing.

What's your take, Beeple?

get a coin. heads = school; tails = wait. flip the coin.

you're not actually seeking an answer from the coin, but rather to see your gut reaction to what the coin says. maybe it's excitement, relief, calm, or acceptance. maybe it's sadness or dread or disappointment. maybe it's still confusion. in any case, it can help shine a light on what you're feeling, which can be useful when you're overwhelmed by thinking. don't be afraid to trust your gut.
