What are you an expert on? Is it because of training, lived experience, or both?
Failure. Because of lived experience.
Excel. Because of training and experience.
p.s. — This has absolutely nothing to do with this post… but whatever. Today I was listening to an album that inspired a story I wrote in 2002. Now I think I might edit and rework the whole thing. Maybe it will get me writing again. That would be fucking great! I’m not going to get my hopes up, though. I’ve had at least some level of writer’s block since late 2017. God, over three years. I don’t even know what possessed me to listen to this album today. It just sort of happened. [Do people still say ‘album’? Well, I do. Fuck, it was 2002. I may be listening digitally now, but I have the CD.]

I still say album, yes. Doesn’t mean my kids know what the fuck I’m talking about when I say it though. 😃

Experience is everything
That leads you to your fate
Failures are the turning points
By which you navigate
You’ll never make an omelette
Without a broken egg or two
You’ll never see the picture
Without changing point of view
You’ll never top the class
If you can’t feel like the dunce
And you’ll never win at anything
Before losing more than once

All true. I hope to someday figure out how to look at things differently than I do now. Everything you wrote makes sense… and I believe it. Yet I still can’t find my way out of the hole I’m in.

Maybe. I need to find some quiet alone time. Kids are only in school two days a week right now. Not enough. They go back full time (tentatively) on April 12. I just have to make sure I don’t waste all that alone time sleeping. My depression is killing me. Many days, all I want to do is sleep.
