Stuart. In this instance, given your exemplary projection, I don't
believe you really want to know about insecurity of mine anyway.
Nevertheless, my experience is that insecurity activates when a need
to fear or prove something remains neither outgrown, or outlived.
Already a few years past my use by date, I guess as long as I go up
in flames *before* the stockmarket goes down in flames, insecurity
will never bother me again.
On bonus time now, I mostly have fun with the freedom I've come; from
where I've been.
