He felt lost and insignificant, his lips spoke trivialities, his hapless heart was inarticulate. Fearfully he fumbled through his hazy days, shunning opportunities, urgently hoping he wouldn't be picked.

With a spring in his step, a twinkle in his eye, a new found confidence and clarity, he's out from under that crippling blow, and this gentleman? Well, he's none other than I.
