I Am Woman — Created to Be Awesome as Just Me

Reclaiming who I am meant to be and not what you want me to be

As I lay in bed, hand on my chest — silencing my mind, I had an epiphany.
I could see with sharp clarity that I am unable to fully connect to myself; that my subconscious has forever been caught up in how I have to be for others. Especially my family.

How I should act,
like a play,
waiting for permission,
waiting for approval,
waiting for an encore.

Congratulations, you did well — Chantal!

For you, yes— but what about me?

It all came about with the onset of Christmas.

Should I buy Christmas presents for every family member — at least my nieces and nephews?
I don’t want to be mean!
