“What exactly are we supposed to be winning, and what is thriving supposed to look like?”
I love this! I love your take on this and how you’re reclaiming words. Who decides what’s right or wrong or good or bad anyway? I have the utmost admiration for people who march to the beat of their own drum, and I feel disappointed when people are held to certain expectations or considered ‘less than’ if they don’t ‘succeed’ the way society tells us we should. Like Hirayama’s sister - more fool her.
Thank you for sharing this piece. I like the reframe of these terms, especially the one about being a "loser". If someone's winning at the wrong game, they've already lost. (And vice versa.)
