"At some level, though, failure avoidance is a horrible way to learn (not to mention a horrible way to live). It rewards the wrong traits, and inhibits some pretty important ones." this is my basic psychological issue. also: "It took a couple of years to get past both the thrill of unaccustomed respect and the nagging sense of being an impostor." I'm still working on this. :\

"I just realized that just because in every previous year I’ve run an excited photo of the spring’s first crocuses, that’s not a reason not to run an excited photo of this spring’s first crocus." extra-pretty this year, love the focus/lack-of-focus.
