He's fears his own greatness. I get that big time. It's normal. He fears failure as well. It's a double edge sword. You fear how great you can be, but also fear failing. It is overwhelming. And don't you dare think you didn't raise great kids. There's only so much that you can do...the rest is up to them. He has to find his own way. And you support him as he is. I have always said to my kids....don't peek too early in life. I went back to college and when I was 23 years old. I am peeking later in life...and every time my kids didn't get picked for something...I said "you don't want to peek to early.... So, he didn't take a normal road...neither did I. Oh dear!

Not fitting in is way more entertaining to me. A little squiggy around the edges and all that stuff. And I'm normal, right? Hahahaha! Thanks, Aunt Nancy.

He is so talented and so special. He's just not like everyone else and it makes it difficult to "fit in." But if we all "fit" life would be pretty dull. I love MoS’ drawings!

Except I haven't figured out where he can go to school and major in Dungeons & Dragons, War Hammer, and Call of Duty. *sigh* I guess sometimes square pegs do fall far from the saw.

That's probably why I've been so lax when it's come to really shooting at a freelance writing career. I'm afraid that it will actually take off and I'll HAVE to spend all my time writing instead of just wanting to, and then I won't want to anymore. I'm a big ol' square peg myself.
