Moving from SF to Seattle turned me from an introverted self defeatist to a veritable Casanova full of confidence because nobody knew that I was riddled with insecurities borne of negative experiences.

This is a well-written, thought-provoking article.

A line I heard on NPR this morning, from a (dead serious) New Hampshire woman describing how they differ from Vermont denizens:

As the boarding process ended, it became clear that the middle seat was to remain blissfully empty and I felt immediate relief, until the gentleman picked himself up, scooted over, and started to lower his ass into the vacant…
