I’ve spent the past *mumbles* decades mostly in advertising and teaching. It’s not bad work, and aside from that one advertising company run by cokeheads and a shifty guy who may or may not have been wanted by the mob (he hired body guards and hid in his office, but it could have just…

I can’t count the number of Medium articles I’ve read about motivation, not giving into fear/imposter syndrome, being confident, working harder, on and on and on. I think I’m hitting some sort of saturation point. And if I’m honest with myself, that makes total sense. It’s just…
