18/ Fair enough! Let me replace it with "I have nothing to be insecure about, because people like my writing and it earns me money ... which isn't bad for a hobby I have on the SIDE, after my other hobbies like farming, which I do after my actual careerhttps://twitter.com/prettyXricky/status/1308103876009250816 …
