And, the more 'out of the box' they consider themselves, the more 'inside-the-box' they actually are. Such a weird thing. You have to fit their cookie cutter shape of what they think is a creative is. Like, how is that 'outside the box?' But, that's the industry. I've got plenty of cringe-worthy stories as well. That might be a short series I write about, lol. But, not really. Too much negativity in that, no growth potential. All about turning a new leaf :)

@westley-nash, your words of support are awesome. You might not be able to offer me work, but you've helped me start to build back my confidence, which is much more valuable. :)

Be well!!! :)
