I usually act too little because I think or care too much. Have scribbles all around that never amount to longer forms because I always judged those words harshly before even sharing with anyone. This have strongly conflicted with my desire to leave a few artifacts behind in this short life. This need started to burn a hole inside after my daughter was born.
I have open the Medium editor many times just to close it after a few sentences knowing that I won’t have the time to finish a 4-paragraph article grammar and logic checked, laced with beautiful images from the new cool stock photo site and strategically placed links that people will have to click because they are that good. Always worrying that millions will see and share what i wrote and judge me.
The new format introduce via @ev yesterday changes that. Now I can quickly get in and out without worrying too much. This is almost getting long but maybe the premise is what makes it less scary. Maybe it is seeing other people quick posts in my stream that pushes me to write.
