Gen Z needs to stop having situationships with everything

It seems like many of my friends are in situationships with everything. I’m not just talking about relationships. I’m talking about friendships, jobs, cities, communities, hobbies, everything.

Part of it is because there’s always hope that there’s something better out there. Yet, in my own experience, optionality is overrated.

My fulfillment comes from my willingness to commit. I find this is becoming increasingly rare and is an easy way to distinguish yourself in NYC, the city with the ultimate optionality.

I’m willing to commit to my relationships.

I’m willing to commit to writing every day for almost 5 years.

I’m willing to commit to organizing a weekly writing community for 2 years.

I’m willing to commit to living in NYC long term.

There is no right decision, the right decision is the one you commit to.
