Thanks for an insightful post on a very individual (I mean that in a positive way!) site.

All the best (from the UK).

A great poignant posting–to conform or not to–
to be an outsider or to “fit in” and sacrifice one’s spirit in the process for the sake of ‘happiness’.
There are always the choices and sometimes the eaiest one’s turn out to be the hardest.

You are in a unique and powerful position being the outsider–it gives you the objectivity in what one writes.
Journalists might prostitute what they write for money but it does not mean that you ever have to sacrifice your integrity and professionalism.
It might sound like a dichotomy and maybe some might see it as double standards but then all is never black & white in the real world.
As long as one is able to live with those choices and have pride in what one does ,then what others have to say does not matter.
I wish you the best of luck in your future opportunities.
Take care
derick
