Real talk, I'm not gonna say it didn't factor in a tiny bit, but at the end of the day, I can look back on my 35 years and realize I've always been this way. I always loved subversive cartoons where the kids try to right wrongs. When I hit my teen years, I was very interested in finding my identity. I fell in with leftist hippies and have been doing that ever since.

Once in a while I do feel like I have imposter syndrome. Like, my above joke is the crux of the issue. Then I think back on all the things I did when nobody was looking and know I'm the person I show to the world.

One of my biggest social problems is that I'm too earnest and I don't like lying. It catches people off guard and I end up having to over explain myself like I'm doing here.
