Good idea, thank you (danke) for the suggestion! Makes sense, I'll play around with revising it to frontline my mental illness and see how it looks.

It would definitely be more relate able (especially to the greater blogosphere) with a start in personal story land.

Without an emotional story it feels like you are making an emotional appeal through system 2 (or through a calculating brain) which may work for some but if you are trying to appeal to a greater audience; maybe some emotional guidance would help people connect with the idea more.

Sounds like I should make paragraph 4 into paragraph 1, and expand on it. Thanks!
