And doing this is like an antidote.
Sending one email, I'm not expecting anything.
That can still make you feel content because you are still moving forward.
Whereas sometimes it can be that, especially in a social media driven world, and I hate to say that, we have made things easier these days.

If you don't have that sort of wealth of experience, it's like more maturity because your instinct will tell you, if I'm not getting an email straight away back, maybe they don't like what I do.

You're the one doing this.
And it all started because you wanted to do it.
