An editor once rewrote my intro so it sounded like a legal disclaimer. It killed the entire story. I put it back in my portfolio but under a fake name. Have you ever disowned your own published work?

Yes, I have. There are a couple of pieces with my name on them that I barely recognise because they were edited into something I never would have written. Sometimes it feels easier to just let them go than claim them.

I know that feeling too well. When something has been edited past recognition, it almost stops being yours. Letting go feels safer, but it is also frustrating knowing your voice was lost in the process.

HAHAH this made me laugh because I thnk we have all had something similar happen. I have definitely done this before.

Do friends ever dump you onto your therapist or psychiatrist or dismiss your valid, normal feelings as “oh did you tell your doctor about this?” I feel like they’re just shitty friends delegating off.

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess).

Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?

One of my direct reports has asked about going part time. They currently manage special reports in a bi-weekly publication, working closely with sales, freelance writers, and an internal designer.
