My little brother knew instinctively just how to get responses from me. And the most frustrating thing about it was that I didn’t seem to have the ability to fight it. He just knew how to push my buttons. It may have been one of the earliest instances of me ceding my power to someone else, […]
I Choose Me
I am choosing myself. That’s the answer. For months I have been in the hurricane, trying to weigh things out and look at different possible futures and how those futures might look.
