====== [...][what is this place] ======

Hi, I'm Scott and I'm learning that I am actually a pretty interesting person with value. As such, there is really nothing better than sharing my interests with my internet friends since it could help someone out there. Self-care and reflection are important; being proud of your accomplishments and sharing them should not be viewed as gloating or self-righteous. For too long I felt I had to hide my successes because others around me acted like I was a show-off, but really you should be proud of your success and failure. No one has the right to make you feel bad about yourself. 

So this is my place where I am sharing stuff that I've worked on or thought about. I update when I have time, and everything is always at some level of incompleteness. 

Remember to love yourself and learn from your mistakes. You are human. You don't need to be someone else.
