I have spent most of my adult life proving that I existed. A blog is an accessible way of doing this - there is a date and place in cyberspace that I existed a year ago, to the day, and the proof is still there.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was so adamant about proving myself for so long and I've gotten to the point where I don't have to do that as much.
I took a selfie to prove to myself that I exist!
On almost anything someone does in the computer business, you can go back in the literature and prove someone had done it earlier.
I don't have to prove my life. I just have to live.
I believe in past lives but I know nothing about mine and I don't want to know. I live in the present, taking one day at a time.
I started my blog in 2002. That was pre-MySpace, pre-Facebook. That was back before newspapers realized they were going out of business. That was back when no one gave any credence to Internet writers.
I'm in a position to look back at my life, and I realized there were a number of experiences that needed to be documented.
I want the fact that I existed to mean something.
I don't believe in proving myself, ever. I'm in the school of thought where if someone is a curious person, they can find whatever they want.
I still need to go through the process of proving myself.
