    “i wrote this substack article about how i never let myself try doing big things because my trauma response is being a benchwarmer, and in my COMPLETELY BIASED opinion, i think it’s really worth a read. it’s short! it’s sweet! it’s more earnest than i usually am!! i like it and i think it’s good for me to self promote as a means of growth”
