And besides… every now and then, it works and you (and all those whose lives you touch) get to fly.

And for the record, it never stops being scary. You never stop feeling like it could all go away. And you never stop agonizing over every twist and every turn. Because the thing you built matters… and it's part of you… and you fly in the face of what other people would have you do… and you feel every success and every failure powerfully and painfully.

But you know what it feels like to care so deeply for something… to work in service of something bigger than yourself… but that is also yours… that you get to share… that you see change and grow… and that hopefully matters.
