Today’s post is a plug for a small project I thought about yesterday and want to start today.
Recently, I got active on LinkedIn seeing my life was waning and I needed something to change. I wrote a vulnerable article and it helped; it felt I could properly breathe again.
In the spirt of embracing vulnerability, I have a few more stories from my college days I wanted to share. Each story is tied to an unforgettable lesson that kept me from repeating the same mistakes.
I’m still undecided on the name— the best I came up with is ‘The Hardest Lessons.’ The project will include six weekly LinkedIn/Medium articles of experiences I hadn’t told anyone because I feared being judged.
Each experience shaped who I am. Instead of seeing them negatively, I want to proudly share them, as a reminder of how humbling failures can be.
In short, this light project is a series of articles chronicling my college experiences, sharing my struggles—and maybe triumphs.
I don’t know what will come out of it other than acknowledging my mistakes and moving on.
Perhaps that’s enough.
If you’re interested in following along, here’s my LinkedIn profile.
Here’s my inspiration for the project (particularly Chapter 7).
