Who do you think you are?” she asked me (my supervisor).
In a performance review when I was 27 I was told that I had a “strong silence” & was “different” which others took as me being arrogant & cold & that I “needed to be more understanding of other people‘s weaknesses.”
💁🏼♀️In Beth Dutton fashion, let me interpret this: “Your resting bitch face, your sparkle, & the fact you can do other people’s jobs better make them uncomfortable.” 🤷♀️😆
It was eye-opening & ego shattering at the same time. I had no idea that was how I was being perceived. It did encourage me to sit down & observe past behaviors & presentation & how I was “different.”
At that time I was going thru a divorce, in radiology school full-time & working part time on top of it. As I put it, stressed to the titties.🫣
I was like come on sister, my life feels like getting stuck halfway putting on a sports bra when you’re sweaty & ya need Jesus to come down & cut you out of it 😂
When you’re “different” & a “high performer” in life, you might notice that some other people, well — aren’t.
If you want a great life, tattoo these words on your brain: LIFE IS NOT HARD ON YOU; YOU MAKE LIFE HARD FOR YOURSELF.
Life can be hard & people won’t understand you sometimes, yes, but the majority of the “hard” sh*t in life people think is really “hard” in my opinion is really the EASY SH*T.
Just be you & stop over complicating things. People don’t need to understand you you just have to love yourself.
Took myself thrift shopping & a rainy date to the gym yesterday. Had a beautiful day of treasure hunting!
The thing I’ve learned over the years is that many live life haphazardly complacent in a mediocre, lost state…
I hope this can meet you with inspiration today ❤️
