I need to do great things. I need accomplishments. I see this won't happen in regular employment and it kind of kills me. I am an architect, a dreamer, I want to build and create.

I have a huge ego and yet am tripped up by low self-esteem in some areas. I don't quite understand myself and my life is half over.
EXCUSE ME?

The Cellar is Legend. You did this. This is greatness.

People from all over the world who have never met do not mourn a lost member together, do not club together to send care packages across the world, or buy surprise cars for a member without wheels, do not alter their travel plans or make special trips to meet strangers without a background of greatness. It may not be great in the way you imagined it when you sat in the branch of a tree swinging your legs and dreaming. but how much of the world is how you imagined it would be? Yes we have cellphones. That's probably the only futuristic dream of our generation that came true!
