The one thing we had in common beside an intense struggle with life was the fact we sucked at learning.
I think that no one has ever commented on my blog, because they would somehow be shamed if they comment on an article that is ridden with incorrect grammar usage. Oh, I use grammar helpers, and still, I cannot let my mind escape, because my fingers cannot type the expressions without the understanding of all the grammar rules.
It's funny, I use Ginger and it seems so so. Then I hit publish on my Wordpress blog and it comes in and says that I have done all kinds of things incorrectly. It makes me feel like a super big idiot failure!
How will any VC, Angel or potential user, believe in my idea if they read this worthless crap I write? I have run into grammar police plenty of times and well, it's just way too hard for them to read this crap. I can understand that.
This is like my golf handicap. I struggle with all the educational skills we were to learn while growing up. You really don't know what it's like to be 52 years old and write like a third grader. It's super hard to be trapped in a lifelong learning disability. And yes, I do believe I have one. It's called if I don't use it, I lose it, if I don't understand it, I can't make it make sense in my brain, it's called, if I wasn't building startups maybe I'd have time to spend on learning to understand what I missed out on in early education.
I don't have the time, because I'm learning all kinds of other things that take up my time to build. So I use the grammar helpers, and I'm thankful for them, yet it's still not a full proof answer. I am so frustrated. I want to express myself and it all comes out in a way that only makes sense in my brain. No one else knows my brain code.
Here is one of the saddest letters I have ever read, written by my brother Mark.
If you are able to read this, just add 10x worse for my brother Tim's writing.

Yeah, I'm kind of sad tonight.
