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?

Figure out your deepest, ground-level goal/motivation.

Let’s pretend your most profound goal is “stability.” That may mean staying where you are, or it could mean taking the risk on school for the greater stability it offers in the future.

Identify your life’s motivation and then apply it to your options. Simplify to one word if you can. Bare bones.
