Walk out
That’s a wrap. Sometimes we can enter a space and feel right at the start that something is not quite right. Usually, that’s a sign of a lack of safety.
So when it’s the right time, we need to pause and back out. It’s ok to stop. It’s not a failure. It’s liberation. If you feel unsafe, walk out.
Update (18.01.2023): staying in this unsafe space costed me six months of creative freedom, so please learn from my mistake and do not compromise your freedoms and integrity if you feel the space is unsafe. Walk out.
