I put artificial constraints on myself all the time, and then forget that they are artificial, and start believing that they’re real. When wanting to decide the topic of this essay, I kept thinking “No I don’t have enough words to say on that topic, even though I want to write about it”. I kept thinking – why will people read something so small, so half baked? I need a screenshot that looks long, so people will end up bookmarking the tweet rather than reading it, right? Then I realized, these are just constraints I have put, for no reason, and I can break them whenever I want. So here is my attempt at breaking them. I hope this essay was a very quick, small read.
