I think the stars are souls

[pjburkshire]

Also, there is something subtle but very useful I have learned recently. When I get this nagging feeling that "nobody will believe this" or "everybody will complain about this", I have learned that this is probably not because people don't want to understand. It is because the proposal is too speculative and not supported by enough evidence. It takes some humility to accept these kinds of social cues, but I have found it very useful in my writing.

I'm sorry that has been your experience. That has not been my experience. I have spent my entire life as the one swimming against the current. I have spent my entire life with people telling me I was wrong. I don't let that stop me. I have learned to trust my own judgment. I go with the evidence, not other people's opinions. I generally get most things right.
