On Camille's piece: Interesting perspective. Conjures up the mental model of a dovetail. It's possible to also think of it as a barter system. Think of what's easy for you but hard for someone else; hard for you but easy for others. Then make the trade.

I'm going to write multiple comments if I have to. So Brie's account first. I read the piece and it just exudes joy and even some longing. And then you mirrored that feeling.

I wonder about us relying on our memory to recount experiences. How would a daily journal from Brie or anyone from Stripe read like? Would they have that perspective? Would it seem as joyful? I find Anne Frank's writing so powerful because it was written in the moment of experience. Incidentally, I've been reading up on experience and the memory of it and that has made me trust journals more than memoirs.

How do you see it?
