I'm not from Gen-Y or even a Gen-X but am one of the late Baby Boomers (another way of saying oooold!) but I wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I enjoyed your post. I took time to read your referenced posts as well, and the negative comment about your writing. The author of that negativity obviously didn't bother to read your blog. You most certainly are a writer. Your voice comes through with clarity and you give a lovely gift to your readership--yourself.
I find comfort in seeing others--and by that I mean bright, young, and gifted others--share some of the demons (i.e., self-doubt, insecurity) that haunt someone like myself. I think, sometimes we feel singular in our demons. I find hope in reading your work and knowing that with courage great things are possible.
Thank you for that gift, a particularly special time of year to have such an unexpected present.

It's funny how looking back, all the worries I had getting into blogging were about the public part - what will people think, say, do, or will they? That stuff almost stopped me so many times. And sometimes, I fight to keep it from stopping me still.
But the value I see now is overwhelmingly the private part. How it's helped me grow, what it means to me. Relationships, confidence, perspective. These are what blogging means to me now.
And by the way, this post's title is perfection.
