Being yourself is an excercise in relaxation, not control.
I learned this from a graphic novel called "Fresh off the boat" it is about racism against asian people, in this case the protagonist is specifically chinese. I would spoil it for you but it is a good book and it contributed to my awakening.
I am a very white human being. My friends are black. I will be forgiven by them numerous times for the ignorant ***I spew as part of my racial identity and I already have.
People are xenophobic and racist as part of who we are as psychotic apes: homo sapiens.
Bigfoot is still pretty danged real. Just trust me: do NOT go bigfoot hunting. There's a reason they're not on the "endangered species list" cough cough sage grouse get murdered because of their listing cough.
Before you write, excercise relaxing. That is all I can say. All your ideas ARE good enough that they can be stolen, like the Matrix trilogy was stolen from that other guy. Or maybe it wasn't. It's all hearsay and people who tap into the same source tend to drink the same water. Sow seed from the same sack (lol) and trust me, the plants may be different but they'll be similar.
