I recently had a moment of understanding. I was placed in a situation that made me feel so uncomfortable. I didn't need to feel uncomfortable but I did, in a BIG way. It got to the point one day where I may or may not have gone to the bathroom at work and cried about it.
Then I had a moment. I realized that I was giving a situation and somebody so much power over how I was feeling and I finally understood what Eleanor Roosevelt meant when she said, "nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent." I pretended that Joe from Princess Diaries was there to tell me that just like he was for Mia.
After that I decided I was done. I addressed the situation that was making me so uncomfortable. My knees may have been shaking the whole time but I did it. I decided I was done giving it the power control me. I was done giving my consent. It felt sooo good. So I guess I have turned over a new leaf in life.
