Just keep swimming - Parlour
Through economic downturns, changes in career direction and a lot of hard work, Macarena de la Vega de LeΓ³n has discovered that the best approach is to βjust keep swimming!β.
Not sure if this is done in #Bluesky but it is #FollowFriday & I thought I would try to make it to 1000. Ever wondered why I always write #keepswimming? I reflected on it for @parlourinc.bsky.social in this piece. 5 years later I made it back home and I #keepswimming.
