What’s something you’ve done that your past self would be proud of?
Sharing these thoughts, writing these words, is probably one of the most visceral, terrifying experiences for me.
I am a man who grew up being constantly battered down. My ideas, my plans, my hopes and dreams, were always relegated to “Maybe you should do something a little more realistic.”
From my youthful plans to join the military, to my plans to be a photographer, I’ve always been told that I was being unrealistic, and that I should try something a little more in my reach.
So to step out and write my thoughts down, and share them with a HUGE population of people, from all across the world, is definitely difficult for me. After all, you could very easily step up and crush what little willpower I have left.
What joy I get from writing is so frail, so easy to crush.
But I am proud of it. And a younger me would be proud of it too.
