Mrs. Kate,

Your writing has inspired me a lot. I am a young man on the eve of exiting the Military. My dream is to be a part of something exciting in the Tech industry. Maybe in the internet of things, I don’t know. Regardless, I am leaving the guaranteed paycheck of the military to pursue something I believe will make me happy. That being said I am terrified of failing. I get by most days just telling myself I would rather “starve pursuing something I am passionate about than eat well selling the best years of my life.” But saying it and performing are two different things. I no longer expect to come up with the next big thing. I just want to be good enough to be a part of something I can be proud of. That’s why I am putting it all on the line and going to school. In the hope that I can make it happen.

Your article helped me because sometimes I need to hear about someone recovering from a situation. I would hope that I would have the grace to accept your help if you were to offer it. At any rate, you gave me a boost. It’s going to be part of what gets me through another day towards a goal that is most definitely a roll of the dice.

So thank you so very much. Sorry I went so long, I guess I am just trying to communicate how your writing means a lot to me in this moment. I look forward to your next piece.

Regards,

Beau
