My writing has always been full of modifiers. Conditionals, rising out of an understanding that nothing is certain, especially not in the lives of men. And so I have worded my thoughts cautiously, wary of my own likely misconceptions and delusions. And yet this very hesitation has held me back from my own rightful self-actualization. Now I see with clarity how wrong I have been to pull the reigns on my writing. Now I will write with confidence. I will write with certainty unburdened by unnecessary apologies. I will be bold. And my life will be the bolder for it. Perhaps.
