I enjoyed reading this Stephan. I appreciate your honesty and courage to go through with it. If nothing at all, writing under your real name will push you to explore more of your authentic self and to share what you'll continually find with the world. It's stepping onto the pathway of self-exploration and self-discovery. Going forward, you'll become more critical and invested in the values you choose to share with the world. And that definitely will increase your self-confidence and courage.

Wishing you the best man. Cheers!
