Hey, Rick! This post was amazing. I've been thinking more and more about my writing and how I can make more of an impact with being authentic.

Sometimes it feels like I've overthought/edited myself into something that doesn't sound like me anymore (though I'm still discovering my voice with writing).

Your post here is very encouraging and inspiring for me. Because I'll be honest. I've very scared about how I'm perceived here on Medium. Starting last year was the first time I've ever really tried to write.

I write about things I'm passionate about and I hope they help others, but at the same time I'm hesitant to fully leap off that cliff, show who I am, edit less and be more vulnerable. Even this comment is uncomfortable to write.

But your article shook something in me that makes me want to get a bit more uncomfortable with my writing and see what happens.

Anyway, thanks for this! I always appreciate you.

Also, Courage Writer sounds awesome. I signed up for it.

Thanks again, Rick.
