I wrote something similar not too long ago (and by that, I mean a "year" ago), and it's something I'm looking to ultimately shed. You're one of the people that has helped me realize it, so I just wanted to extend my gratitude to you, man. Fear is the mind-killer. Quite too often, people miss out because of fear of trying. I do hope that this year, more people would have the courage to be bold and put themselves out there.
