Shoutout to my badass friends, too. You know, I run with these people it seems are all like “successful CEO at 29” or “testifying to Congress” or “wrote that tool / standard every infosec pro uses” or “DEF CON 1 OG” or “totally bypasses all military regs” and it’s intimidating,

But when I’ve beaten myself up about not doing enough, I realize that I’ve done *just enough* to get to run in those circles and hang out with them anyway. Here’s to being acceptably, modestly successful just enough to still take naps.

I have had to somewhat regularly tell myself that I must be marginally good at what I do to run in the circles I run in and have relationships with the people I do.
