Clarification: I don’t believe I’m worthless. But there’s still frequently a disparity between the worth I catch myself trying to signal and the worth I (think I) actually have. Having worth > 0 doesn’t make that less objectionable.
I do tend to give up on the “becoming” part as often as not, but I don’t think I do worse than average in that regard. Average does suck, though.

Why are you still making excuses not to be awesome?

Huh? You’ve said something you want to quote? But this isn’t the quotes thread...
