Great quote, and the funny thing is that, out of the 135 or so posts I've sent out, at least 10 or 15 I've felt were sort of sloppy (intellectually, or not as well written as my normal stuff) are among my best received pieces, and those I spend the most time on trying to get just right... well, let's just say, it's a mixed bag.
There's something to be said for not overthinking things. But I also think the more we can shine a light on some of these sometimes-not-so-pleasant feelings that we all have, the more we take their power away.
