You know, it's kind of insane to me that I'm still battling the perfectionist tendencies that came from being a "gifted and talented kid" when I was younger.
Even though I burned out in high school, I still have this high anxiety response if I can't get it right the first time.
Like, people who are able to just "play around" with something -- especially at work -- to see what they can do with it are kind of alien to me.
And it's all but destroyed any chance I had of being a writer up until now. I'm still working on it, but man...it sucks.
