I'm sorry you are procrastinating out of fear and feeling self doubt. I think there's a lot of it going around, though. Perhaps it is not really self-doubt, but more societal doubt at this point. I find myself wondering at times what the hell the point of anything is these days, when all our efforts seem to be overshadowed by the national sense of malaise accompanied by the idiocy of the people around us. The only folks who seem to be accomplishing anything are those who are so personally narcissistic that they can't imagine anything else going on is important but their little piece of the world. The rest of us are too depressed by all the shit going down around us.... I mean I went to a concert last night and could barely enjoy it because so many people just would. not. shut. up. Ever. I can't believe all these people think they are so fucking important that they can't shut their mouths for five minutes to listen to a song. Our society simply sucks ass right now.
