Two revolutionary things happened today.

First, I attended the last class of the first academic year of my career as a university student.

Second, a random Jimmy John’s guy gave me a free sandwich and pointed out to me that there’s actually a Jimmy John’s right across the street from my apartment that I somehow did not see for this entire past academic year. This is revolutionary because I usually have to go to Subway to get sandwiches, and the nearest Subway is about a quarter to a half of a mile away from my apartment. Now I have a convenient place to get food.

The funny thing about this happening today is that a night ago, I had a chat with an old friend, and we somehow talked about Jimmy John’s. I told him that I haven’t been to Jimmy John’s since my fourth year in high school because there weren’t any Jimmy John’s around where I lived or went to classes. Little did I know that I lived a few hundred meters away from one.

Topic #103: Where do you find acceptance? For your ideas? For the secret notions you have for who you really want to be? Or think you are? Who are the friends, family or co-workers who are most accepting of your true self? And how do they demonstrate their acceptance? What is different about how they treat you than other people?

I think it’s pretty unsurprising when I say that I find most acceptance from the Internet’s content consumers. Of course, as expected, there are plenty of haters who think I should stop creating content, but a majority of my readers like what I make and encourage me to continue and to improve what I make.

I don’t really have any secret notions of who I really want to be that are different than what is publicly known (or I’m willing to publicly offer). Generally, my desire to become more successful on the Internet has been met with support and encouragement, but my thoughts on what I wish to pursue as a profession has mostly been met with indifference.

My real-life friends, family members, and co-workers are generally left uninformed about what I do online unless they choose to pursue the information on their own. As a result, the type of person as which they see me is completely different than those who know me online. People in real-life are overall generally accepting of me, but people online take it up to a more intense level, being more accepting as well as providing feedback and suggestions on how they think I can become more appealing.
