I did read Parasite but I felt uncomfortable commenting because the post felt so...intimate. Because you took a step back and told this story at a distance it felt like less of an intrusion to comment this week. I think most people have that voice inside them telling them they are not good enough and that even the people who give you praise are really smirking behind their hands at you. That voice is someone we don't talk about in polite conversation even though we should because it saps the power it has over us. You wrote in that post as though you were weak but finally starting to fight back. Based on the two posts I can see that you are brave and strong. It's something you can hone, like your voice or with it, to battle the inner demons.
