Don't Be Afraid to Be Yourself

Think better together in threes, love—two, trust—one, but you’ll still have to rely on yourself. In troubled times, self-confidence is a first necessity. Want to become more confident—stop being afraid of yourself.

In every story there’s a subtle humor, lightness, and self-irony: they add color, relieve inner tension, lift your spirits, and at exactly the right moment give that very “magic kick” toward even the boldest plans.

These are stories about what everyone knows: shattered hopes, injustice, betrayal. About how, as you move toward yourself, to stop looking back at other people’s assessments and show failures the middle finger.

It’s time to stop running from yourself and learn to accept reality as it is— the best antidote to illusions. Enough living on expectations. It’s time to start hoping in yourself!
