Every damn word: The Truth. Thanks for writing this as I'm sure many need to get your message. I know my worth and I also know that Medium has been keeping me in the "shadows" for a long time, on purpose. Because I speak my mind and they can't handle it. Fuck this place. I'm putting more time into Substack and personal projects. Finishing a screenplay, starting a book and yes, looking for freelance work! All the best to you.
