If one more person called me aggressive, I was going to flip. I wasn’t aggressive! I wasn’t even angry; I just spoke with passion.
I was constantly defending myself. This was the narrative. I found myself speaking out less and crying more. I placed limitations on myself, conformed to the expectation and lost who I was. I’d convinced myself it was what I had to do to be successful, and it only made me more miserable. At that moment, it became clear that I wasn’t living MY life but, instead, following a blueprint that simply wasn’t designed for me.
Ok, so now what?
I had to create my own blueprint, I had to take the design that wasn't made for me and flip it in my favor. I had to redesign my mind. What purpose did I serve? How do I live my truth? I realized that I am a bridge. And not just any bridge, a badass, confident, and intelligent bridge.

"When you don't fit into the square box that society will try to put you in, then you're considered different, obscure, out of the norm. But what is the norm anyway? The norm is whatever you make it. I don't want you to be a part of their group, be a part of your own group, your own purpose and your own mission."
