Pound Pup Legacy

This is indeed a brilliant scene and I can recognize myself very much in this. For the longest time I was scared shitless to experience anything, while I read book after book, pretending to know the world. The end result: missing out on much of life, while having encyclopaedic knowledge about more subjects than I care to know something about.

In my thirties I tried to make up for lost time and managed to lose another ten years doing that. Fortunately over the last five years I managed to get ten years older and finally I am catching up to my real age. I still like to read and still acquire a lot book-wisdom, though I guess I am less cocky about it, or maybe it is just more accepted from a man in his forties. I guess I've grown out of the most serious fear to experience, though I can still be careful and hesitant.

Several years ago, I was having a good job at the time, making a carreer as ICT consultant, I decided to just quit, sell the house I owned, give up the company car and just see what would happen. I survived that, did several odd jobs and learned I didn't die all that easily. Since then I am much less afraid to do something new, though it can still be scary when it gets really personal and intimate.
