The problem with my path as it exists is that there's nobody around who can really tell me "yes you did the thing." There's no external confirmation. I feel like the guy in Ultra-Spiritual Life saying, "Can you see how the moon and me are the same thing?" while he's getting his vine on. I have only my own confidence that I'm not flying away into space to hold me down.
I _have_ that confidence. I just wish I had more than that, sometimes.
