Sounds like we’ve been walking the same road, brother. Your books have gotten me over more than a few seemingly insurmountable hills. Thank you. Keep walking. You’ve never met me, but I’m walking right beside you trying to balance business with making the world a better place than I found it.

I’m a bit younger (30, not to rub it in) and currently questioning employment, and in general, how I earn a living as a software developer. I love developing software, but I’m terrible at a lot of social dances employment require. I’m neurodiverse, so the hydrogen analogy was both beautiful and sad. I don’t currently have answers, although even finding out I’m neurodiverse has been helpful in understanding that everyone else’s’ “nature” might not be my own, and there’s power in that.

I don’t really have anything to say, just ramblings, but I always appreciate a voice of vulnerability from someone who (at least externally!) looks to have their shit together, as it feels like it validates my own vulnerability. It sounds kinda selfish put like that, ha, but really, thanks so much for sharing.
