I have been writing on Medium since May thirteen now, and I just got curated in relationship and self in the article below.
It is an article where I argue that it might be better for you to love and embrace those who disagree with you than to hate them or resent them or to try and shoo them away.

You have that spark in you, you have that drive in you, and you have this beautiful community rooting for you.
You owe it to yourself to at least try. And you owe it to the world to share with her the stories that you — and only you — can tell.
Please don’t let your self-doubt, or your setbacks, or your impostor syndrome or whatever fancy name you call it these days rob us of your stories.
No matter how battered, no matter how bruised, show up — and…
