Lately I’ve been feeling like an impostor and a failure. The other day, I was being incredibly negative and one of my friends kindly pointed out that I should be all about the growth mindset, considering I have written an entire article about it.
I was feeling embarrassed because he was completely correct. I was being a hypocrite, and I felt very disconnected from the “good writer” people have told me that I am.
I’ve been struggling to write, and the feeling of being stuck has seeped its way into other aspects of my life.

When did the telephone arrive in Bluffton?
According to accounts in early issues of the Bluffton News, on Aug. 22, 1898, Bluffton’s council granted John Amstutz the right to construct a telephone and telegraph "plant" in Bluffton.
Amstutz was granted this free of charge, and also granted the use of all but a few of the posts and poles used in operating the town’s new light system.
The telephone rates were to be uniform, not exceeding $30 per year for business houses, firms and offices, nor $18 per year for private residences.
