Static

Truly, though, it was an exciting year, and I love and frequently think about you guys. I hope you're all doing exactly as you desire and tuning out the static.*

*For those who are unsure, static sounds like this:

"It's a very competitive field. You will probably never be (insert goal.)"

"You need something to fall back on."

"You need to be more realistic."

"You can't be (blank) and also (blank)."

"You blew your chance."

and my personal fave,

"You're not talented enough."
