Your comments about publishing are spot on, Cole! Just hit publish already, right?! I just started publishing on Medium due to imposter syndrome. Something inside of me switched, and I suddenly didn’t care about what others thought of me. Cheers!

Congrats on publishing! I'm curious, what do you think caused that switch for you? How did you stop caring about what others thought of you?

Great question! I’m not exactly sure what switched for me, but the more I read other peoples’ writing, the more I thought I can do that too! I noticed a lot of articles are not any better written than what I can write, so I just went for it! I guess my determination and will to get out into the writing world was stronger than my feelings of imposter syndrome. So, I had to hit publish! Plus, I have a lot to share that may help someone some day.

"my determination and will to get out into the writing world was stronger than my feelings of imposter syndrome" - this is huge! Such a self-aware realization too.
