They're Talking Nerdy Baby: #NerdsUnite
I'm finally starting to dig out of my inbox. I have a really bad habit of reading emails, and then forgetting to star them to respond back to and slowly watch them get lost in the heap. I'm working to better myself on this issue, but while I was watching Modern Family this afternoon (THIS WEEK'S EPISODE SO FREAKING GOOD!!) - this email came in and warmed my soul ...it's a two parter ...
First off ... thanks for reaching out, greatly appreciate the time it took you to write this two part epic email.
The impact on my future prospects? I live in the now. I know that lifecasting and this website gave me a purpose beyond measure - I very truly came alive when I started this site ... so whatever the future holds, rad! I'm along for the ride! I have no shame, I have nothing to hide - if a guy isn't down with what I've posted about my sexual escapades, he's definitely not the one for me - and as far as future employers or anything goes, I'm my own boss! I now run a business, so pretty kosher for passover there too.
I get asked that all the time by guys on dates - tell me the ONE thing you don't talk about on your site. If I had something to hide, I wouldn't be doing my job right.
I will say, that my family asks me not to post on anyone's health, or internal conflict. I come from a very private group (my brother works at the Pentagon for cripes sake!) - as you can tell, I'm a bit of a blacksheep.
I guess the one thing that I don't talk about is how lonely I can be. It's crazy how I can talk to people morning, noon, and night and still feel lonely. The nature of what I do certainly does turn people off from wanting to interact with me, but again, this site made me come alive - so I'm not going to stop, it just limits people who may want to be in my life (but oddly enough doesn't keep them from reading).
Dating is a genuine soft spot for me. I've never been a good dater, I'm WAY quieter than most people would expect, and I'm genuinely a bit awkward when I like someone ... I use the internet, and specifically this website, as a place to better myself. I strive every day to learn something new, to open my mind that much more - and for every day me to feel a little bit more comfortable in my own skin. I don't have it all together, I just have hardcore ADD and don't stop working. I currently throw 100 pieces of shit against the wall every day and just watch what is sticking. Statistically speaking though, being that active and busy increases my chance for "success" (whatever that means).
I'm struggling to find my way and find my voice like every other 20 something in this new world that we are in. I just so happen to also be PAINFULLY optimistic and work a solid enough hustle that I not only believe good things will come, I work hard every day to go and get them.
It's not always easy, but I am always honest and it is my hope that through these transparent experiences other people might be able to take away a nugget of truth or wisdom that they can then share.
There is no book for this, I'm just truckin along as I go and enjoying every minute of it. But thanks for reaching out! Greatly appreciated.
Got something to say? Drop me an email. I'm still resting tonight, so just going to catch up on some The Walking Dead. Feel free to send me something though - I'll get right back to ya! Pinky promise!
