I found myself chuckling out loud! Such a great piece-- I love how you work and weave the metaphors of sand and architecture and corporate structure... great writing. Congratulations on your new path, Michaella!

Could this be any more poignant?! No! Having spent the morning on a task that has no end, I was beginning to wonder just what is the point myself. But couldn’t have articulated it as beautifully!

Freelance existentialism is an important topic and we need to talk about it asap. But all I am thinking about right now is that spiral staircase. I need to see it!
