(no subject)
I feel I am opening like a flower. I don't know who's at the center, but she's powerful beyond knowing.
It's not about being a good Mom. It's about being a good ME. My kids need ME. My husband needs ME. My friends need ME.
I have realized that I am always putting on a hat, a job, to avoid the pressure of being judged based on my own traits, but to deflect so that I can be judged on the quality of my work, which I can assure is not lacking.
But who wants a boss, or a coworker, or a subordinate? Nobody. They (you) just want me.
I am worth knowing. I am worth loving. And I am above reproof in that my failings are honest ones, and they are nothing to be afraid of.
