In your last sentence, you answered your own question. Don't ask us how you would want to live your life, after all it is YOUR life. Just live it!

We can give you as much permission as you want. But all of it won't matter unless you give yourself the permission.

Some say "just ship", in this case, "just start".

Lots of great advice in this thread. A lot of ideas on where to start. But it will be all for not if you don't let yourself start.

Good luck throwing off the bowlines! ;)
