But, Am I Really?

I’ve given up so much of myself for others approval: losing myself in the process. I quit caring about my own approval.

But. But. But.

You can’t grow if you don’t recognize and acknowledge the things that hold you back.

You can love where you’re from and still want to grow.

Sometimes, I think I’ve learned more from them than they ever have from me.

And I’m so excited for the next step: and to continue to share it with all of you.

I don’t know if other people experience this as often as I do? Maybe just neurodivergent people? Maybe it’s just me.

I think we all have something that makes us a superhuman, don’t you?

I’m not just a mother-but I am who I am. I will become what I’m supposed to become-because of motherhood, because of my sons.

When I think about who I am as a teacher, I think about these people. How well they knew their subject area; how well they knew their students.

Maybe I’m not the only one who does this. Or…maybe I am. I mean, no one has recently accused me of being mentally stable.
