How I replaced one story about myself with quite another…
For Day 15 of my 21 Daring Days writing challenge, I’m to ‘write the truth about something you previously told a bad and inauthentic story about.’ Ah, yes — Eugenie. She’s crap at sport. That was the story I told about myself, and...
The dangers of consigning ourselves to ‘us’ and ‘them’ silos
