Welcome back my friends to the Derate the Hate podcast! Wilk here again from WilksWorld.com with episode 22 of our podcast and this episode is again inspired by a meme I saw that fits so well with what we try to do here with our Derate the Hate podcast.
Since recording this podcast I did a little more research and the quote from the mentioned meme comes from Amy Weatherly, and it turns out she has a lot more than just one inspiring meme, she has a website and a whole pile of inspiring material and quotes.
