Why the title?

An underachieving overachiever is how I once described myself to my partner, a term that landed in my brain whilst trying to explain to him how your head can be so full of ideas, and yet you never seem to be able to get any of them off the ground. I have come to understand that this is more commonly known as perfectionism, and it is an affliction rife in modern society.

This newsletter is way of me honouring the self-assured, inquisitive and awe-filled younger version of me, who claimed at twelve years old that they dreamed of being a writer. My perfectionism has always kept me from pursuing that goal. Its made my world so small and I reached the point where I had had enough. This newsletter is a big f*** you to perfectionism and a way to fulfil my passions for creating, writing and educating, without the guarantee of a gold star at the end of it all.
