The article was about some woman who was unhappy and quit her job, and had some resources to fall back on.

I am sure lots of points can be projected onto it, but the long and the short is she didn't do a very good job at saying anything very clearly.

Her clearest point to me was when she wrote:

"I don’t want anyone who works a 9-to-5 to feel like a fool for staying at a stable job, or feel wrong if they actually enjoy it."

The whole romanticized narrative of quitting your job to pursue your passion is certainly something I've encountered, and I appreciate her point of view on that narrative.
