Tale as old as time…I’ve seen it so many times in my professional life and also in activism. Hell, I’ve done it.
Things look so easy from the outside. All the flaws seem like they can be fixed without much effort, why can’t the people in charge see it? Then you rush in and try to do it yourself without an understanding of why things are the way they are and BAM you hit a wall. Suddenly things aren’t so easy. Suddenly you can’t fix all the mistakes. And you are making new ones.
I’m not saying people shouldn’t try new things, but rushing in without trying to take some lessons from the existing systems without judgement is foolishness.
I’ve never been able to talk myself out of anything. Like I will have the entire thought process and think maybe it’s a bad idea, and I shouldn’t speak my mind, but I really want to so I do. It has not yielded good results

My secret is that I talk myself out of it before I even start : D
