You know what's actually holding you back?
You're still trying to be who you were supposed to be instead of who you are.
The good kid. The stable one. The one that doesn't rock boats.
That person can't build what you want to build.
Time to disappoint some people. Starting with your former self.

Well, I am happy that I do not have this particular problem. I have never been "the stable kid", and of course do not want to be one. Throughout my life, I have been pretty good at disappointing people. Will keep it that way.
