I'm having like a breakdown because this will dictate how everything else will go and I am freaking out here.

This is a bit of an immature question but I figured it would be worth getting some perspective at least. None of the cover letters I wrote felt like *my* cover letter. It was functional but faulty. Honestly, I can personally live with the technical faults but I want to give it some personality and I am thinking about how far I can take it.

Original concept. I want to start with the vision of imposter syndrome and the numerous obstacles in the life of a software developer. Then, express that I would let down my mentors and peers if I didn't maintain confidence in my work and it is with this confidence that I present myself as a candidate. Secondly, I want to say how much the company's work impresses me and inspires me to work harder and improve my work. Then, thirdly, I want to talk about a relevant project. While I would relate the project with the skills required, I primarily want to showcase my problem solving and the evolution of the project itself. I would then end with `I express interest in the position of ..`. Essentially, I want to take the reader on a journey of how I am as a software developer.

I want to know how much of a disadvantage it would be to not stick to the template and be a little bit free with the flow. Most the information would stay the same but I guess the presentation would be different. I hope this has been clear. Questions and positive/negative feedbacks are welcome.

I realised that throughout my life I never expected anyone to be my friend if they weren't forced to. I knew that if they were in the same class, they would have to interact or in a group setting. But I never felt like they would want to if they were free to chose.

That's why I liked doing presentations. I felt like I could speak what I wanted without people going away.

For the first time, in months, I am not feeling like I have to stay up to work on fixing my life. Not that my life is fixed but I can see how rest will help me to fix it. I can go through my bed time routine without being deathly afraid.
