Today was a very good day. I am reading a fantastic book right now and it's helping me immensely to deal with a couple of things I had an incredibly difficult time with, for months - by now, maybe even years.

I had a lot of people plagiarizing my work and I could tell that I became more and more reclusive and resentful over it. My creative drive was unaffected, but my drive to share anything online went down to zero. I didn't like to engage as much, I didn't from my side reach out to help anymore and I didn't enjoy writing and sharing the same.

I have finally found a way to overcome this and find back to my normal self. I realized that how people treat the creative work I share online is not in my control. But it is in my control how I respond to it.
