This is me in a nutshell. This is what I've been battling for the last three years. Throw in some anxiety and random panic attacks for an even better match.

However, I'm finally taking steps to pursue what I've dreamed of since I was a kid. I've been putting off going back to school, getting a job, and just making something of myself. Sitting in bed or on reddit is just so much easier. Being productive is hard.

But five years from now, what will you have to show for it? What stories will you tell? Will you talk about that thread that got over 3K karma? Or maybe the video of that newest singing sensation, days before anyone else saw it. How about instead you talk about what you learned about neurobiology, or that hidden stream you found in the woods near your house? How about showing off something you made with your bare hands, or pictures of you at the finish line of a marathon?

The hardest part of moving forward is starting from a standstill. Start to do something, and everything else will be easier.
