Step 7: Breathe
Throughout the summer, I had been seeing a therapist. Because there is a super black woman complex, I was ashamed that I couldn't just pray, take a nap and do what I needed to do. However after many strong suggestions and sleep deprived nights, I got into an Uber and sat down on that comfy couch to cry in front of a stranger.
Step 3: Be More Selective
Going with the flow has been ingrained in my mind that it's the ideal behavior. Something comes up?
That's cool.
Deadline get changed?
Whatever.
Need to make a group decision?
Whatever y'all decide is cool.
