A half-century of bullying, failure, and frustration has crushed my self-esteem into a pancake. I am a very frustrated writer, afraid to put anything out there where it might be judged by others, and found to be lacking. I almost majored in journalism in college, but instead wasted 7 years on degrees that are now worthless. I am rapidly devolving into a nervous breakdown.

But other than that, I am a happy person!!
