I have felt this way so many times. I appreciate your rawness and authenticity, it is something I've been meditating on this season, how broken and messy I can be. I'm thankful to see other people sharing the same reflections, and I've been praying for God to help me find those types of sites here in Substack.

Love it.

It's insanely liberating knowing we're all pretty much clueless out here as first time humans.

There is no race.

We're not behind.

1. I have ALWAYS felt this way. I'm playing house, playing being grown-up. I'm the ultimate poser!

2. I envy the people who are confident and completely sold on their preferences like their favorite song or the best product for X purpose. And are willing to die on that sword!

3. Just this past weekend, I heard a guest on the radio say an improv workshop they took on a whim was one of the most useful and impactful things they have ever done, even though they were in no way connected to acting/performing/comedy, etc.

4. Thank you for being transparent!

1. You and me both!

2. Right!

3. This is great! In high school our youth group would do an improv game. It was always my favorite. I felt most alive messing around on stage with my friends. And maybe that's what living is. Just messing around with my people, trying to get from one scene to the next.

4. Thanks for being here :)

I am a messโ€ฆ

And thatโ€™s okayโ€ฆ

Similar and yet different from the restโ€ฆ

Today is what it isโ€ฆ

And tomorrow is another day.

We will all be okayโ€ฆ

Thereโ€™s hope in this.
