+# Personal Websites Are As Vulnerable As Us
+
+I look at some people’s personal websites and think, “Stupendous! If I ever reach that zenith of personal web design, I will call it quits.”
+
+Then I read a post by them later and they say something like, “Gah! I just really don’t like where I’m at with my personal website.”
+
+And in my mind I say, “WHAAAAAATTTT??!?!?”
+
+To me, they’re living the personal website dream! But they don’t feel that way. They seem to feel…well the same way I feel about my personal website.
+
+It’s like our personal websites are a mirror to ourselves — a place where the mind’s eye must reconcile with the optical eye’s perception of reality.
+
+It’s a torturous affair, to be sure.
+
+And yet, people still publish those personal sites, those redesigns, those half-baked ideas.
+
+There’s something vulnerable about publishing a personal website for the whole world to see, like standing up before a big crowd. 
+
+And there’s no bigger crowd than the whole internet.
