Joy comes from the things that take time, and these days it feels like we have less of it. Compounding moments with others over months, even years, leads to relationships that give you the joy of feeling seen. The culmination of achievements in your career gives you the joy of looking back on what you have built. The joy of your art lies in the experience of making it. So why not take a moment to enjoy it?

The fleeting does not lend itself to joyful longevity. The process does.
