I do enjoy Twitter, but am very particular about who I follow. Usually 40 or less people max. I recently saw a retweet of Balaji Srinivasan and have been following him since.
I found an old recording of the first time I spoke in public this week. Mouth dry as a desert and hands shaking like a leaf. Every drop of blood drained from my face. I remember wanting to die.
Comparison is not a new concept. People have said it’s bad to compare yourself to others for thousands of years. We’re all familiar with the nauseating ups and downs of the comparison coaster. Rolling from feelings of pride & superiority to jealousy & envy.
