[nabs-l] Feeling Inadequate After National Convention?

[Carly Mihalakis]

Afternoon, Roan na,

         I too, felt and was in fact, a blind person with shitty 
skills, that is, until I moved away from my folk's house for the 
first time, was sort of thrown into independence. Sort of a sink, or 
swim bit. Perhaps, that's how it will play out in your case as well?
feel free to contact me, okay?
