Can I just be myself as a writer? 

Yes.

Will people get me? 

Yes.

Will I be able to connect? 

Yes.

Look. Pressing “publish” is a leap of faith. I took a leap of faith at 23 years old with my first blog post.

And people supported me!! This dumb, rash, immature 23 year old.

I cringe at the crap I wrote 8 years ago.

If they supported me, they’ll support you, too. 

I promise! Now go! Write!
