One of the most frustrating things about this platform is that every once and a while a set of keys are hit and you lose an entire blog post. I was several hundred words into a blog post on building agile into a security teams office and poof everything went. Undo didn’t do anything. I got really frustrated and went to play video games. That frustration carried over to the video games.

Now I’m just kind of sitting here trying to figure out what to do next. I need to write a blog post to keep up with my weekly commitments. I don’t want to restart the agile post. Instead I’d like to talk about another topic I want to cover. I’m not perfect when I work on things. Even though I feel like I’m starting to figure some things out, I’m not perfect. I still have slip ups and frustrating things happen that make me shut down.

It’s something I wanted to highlight, since I’ve been blogging about things I’ve learned this past year and the path forward. Even though it may seem like people have things figured out, in all likelihood they don’t. I’ve had several people share with me that they struggle(d) with drinking. I think about Chester Bennington the front man for Linkin Park. You watch all these videos and he seems like a happy go-lucky guy. He end his life in 2017.

How can a rockstar with all the success and money in the world be so miserable he took his own life? I believe it highlights that we all have demons. We all have things we’re struggling with despite what we’re presenting on the outside. I think that’s why these posts have resonated with people. I get more feedback on these types of posts than I do anything else I write. I like feedback and interaction, because it reminds me that we’re not along and that perfection in our lives is a myth.
