Yes this resonates so much. From the trolls who think they have a moral superiority, nay, imperative! to take me down a peg or two, to the people who have called me names or thought I was ridiculous, to the constant ‘oh shit did I say something inappropriate’ fears that crop up.
Thing is, it keeps me on the right side of ethical, when it’s not debilitating my confidence to the point of weeping into my coffee.
Because I can hold my head high knowing I’ve helped, informed, educated, called out, and done it in a way I’m not ashamed of. And so can you.
That’s very true – it does keep you honest! I still cringe, though, when I think of the time my friend’s boss told her I “must think a lot of myself” to post photos of my outfits on the internet – that was years ago now, but it still comes back to haunt me!
