In 2015, I ran a marathon and passed my driving test less than 24 hours later, with very sore legs. In 2026, I bought a new place and entered a PhD programme. It’s entirely possible I will move in the same week that I start.

It is a wild time.

Richard Branson said, “If someone offered you an amazing opportunity, and you're not sure you can do it, say yes — then learn how to do it later.”

It'’s a matter of perspective.
