It is very easy in this line of work to feel like a failure. It’s solitary. I often feel as though I’m screaming into an indifferent and unceasing void. It often feels a bit thankless — and unimportant. But oddly enough, it’s during those moments that I remember a couple of things:
- I’ve led the sort of life that when I tell people about the things I’ve done and seen, their initial response is almost always “What, what?”
- I’ve managed to meet some very smart, very kind people — people who have spent a portion of their time to celebrate me. It’s been flattering and overwhelming so far. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
