It is remarkable how many talented people are just lost in their personal lives. It is very easy in 2017 to rationalize terrible, self-destructive choices (like getting emotionally involved with someone long-distance, someone who's already got a family and is apparently still married). I see a pattern in my generation where there's also a kind of selfish, self-absorbed laziness to it (the author works harder at hobbies than keeping her home tidy). Do right and take care of the small things first.
