Dear Max,

There is a sort of brilliance to new things. One being that nobody has seen or experienced it before.

When you’re headed into a new situation you can look at it one of two ways. The first is that you’re scared. You’re not sure what will be next or if you will find your place. The second is the excitement for the new – my preferable approach.

New situations should be embraced. They give you the chance to reinvent yourself, your meaning and your status. Think about how invigorating that can be. Nobody knows you. You can literally be and do anything you want, within reason.

Love,

Dad
