@musingvirtual Focus. Direction. What to do with my skillset that is unique, how to deal with my limitations, which would cripple most.
Will you help me find purpose? Be a more gracious human? Learn to be dignified? For some it takes a village. I need the whole wide world.

Just because we contain greatness does not mean we ourselves are great. Learning humility is the hardest, and most rewarding, life journey.

Self-analysis is good to a point, but the infinite loop thinking is not healthy. I will do better with direction. I am struggling for focus.

Feeling raw. Unfiltered. Cruel-edged. I'm not my best and I suffer for it. Openly, and often with shame. So it is. So I am. #difficultpeople

@TomGreen @jameswillweb Thoughts on direction welcome! You are great, experienced tech authors actively engaged on that side of the field.
@TomGreen @jameswillweb I'm keeping an open mind, but I also know I will do no work that doesn't adhere to core #humanFirst tech principles.

@TomGreen @jameswillweb Not really. Big identity and emotional upheaval upon re-entry. I hope finding sustained delight in work again helps.
@jameswillweb Ha! Much worse! I've been returning to original musings of industry sages doing a comparative analysis with current practices.
@briankardell Here: Webstock Keynote 2008. lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?630 - we're cool. I'm even more miserable realizing that was 8 years ago now.

@briankardell I can't handle the incessant debating anymore. I've spent too long defining, defending, repeating. It makes me physically ill.

@briankardell I refuse my writing and thinking of yesterday to ever stand for what I think right now. Why I retired 15 years of my blog.
@briankardell @chriseppstein No common semantics isn't helpful across domains. We desperately need an agreed upon set of human semantics.
@chriseppstein @briankardell Exactly. The distinction is critically important and part of my mantra for 20+ years. I'm sick of my own voice.
