Dear Daniela:

Just read your latest post. The crossroad… I vote, if I may, for you to become more yourself regardless of the fear. Become yourself slowly then, so the fear is not overwhelming. Be authentic is small ways and wait and see: any retaliation? Probably not. You will then get the courage to be authentic a bit more, and you wait and see- any negative consequences? Probably not. And so you keep going, make progress at your own pace, but let there be progress.
