I have not found that I can say what I think and feel either here nor IRL. However, I have found that more and more of the time I can
be mindful of what I think and feel, regardless. That did not use to be the case, and it is still not easy for me to make the distinction between
thinking what I want and
saying what I want. Not being free to say it is not the same as not being free to think it.
