Had a strange experience today, where i had to do a job interview in front of a bunch of my friends.

Strange because I probably have gone through 4-5 interviews in my whole life. And it's weird to be be talking to my buddies in this formal corporate speak about where i see myself in 10 years. But hopefully it's not for nothing, it's a project i'd like to be involved in and the formalities of a board is necessary.

Recent events have added a layer a complexity in my relationship with my potential future boss, but I'm confident it's no big deal. It just means we need to have a conversation - and having adult conversations about ambiguous things is part of my yearly theme of maturity. It's a good year I think for me to "grow up" in all the right ways, and none of the bad ways. Turn the page on immature patterns, accept more responsibility. I was sad about getting older earlier, because I felt I was leaving behind a lot of my old thoughts, wants, world views and ambitions. But the opportunity of embracing new things is here :)
