Amanda made me do it. She actually pushed me, but she was not the main cause. The thing is, most times I am not able to articulate myself properly in a conversation with people. I look like a dumbass every time I open up my mouth to speak. Stumbling over words. Not being able to finish sentences, because my brain is too quick, and my mouth can’t keep up with the speed. In writing, it is easier to get to the point. It’s probably still clunky, but a bit better than talking.
So I would like to include this quote: “you can do nothing. or you can do something. if you do something, you will probably get told you are doing it imperfectly. you will probably be scolded for getting the tone wrong, the sentiment wrong, the wording wrong, or the timing wrong.
do it anyway.
do it anyway.
keep doing the things.”
