Damn. This one hit me pretty hard.

I was struggling with my mind last night thinking about quitting this writing thing (even though I enjoy it) and going back to my IT job for no other reason than perceptions.

Taking myself so seriously and trying to be "someone" has really messed me up in the past and it still creeps up these days. Funny too how most (or maybe all) my expectations for myself aren't my own.

Going back to thinking of how life was when I was a kid, everything really was a game for the most part. Thinking of things in that way does take all the extra pressure off. Also, being more mindful and present has a way of bringing that out naturally, which is nice.

Anyway, this is a very well written article! The read was a breeze. Thanks for this!
