Oh Monica - I too loved that song! I felt emboldened by it. I also roared for many decades - I became a lawyer so that nobody could f*ck with me. About a year ago, I realized I was always "braced" and as friendly as I was, I was always leary of people, knowing they couldn't be trusted or counted on. That is shifting for me now and if feels so good. Your piece resonated so much with me.
1. I am so HAPPY to see you! I was about to reach out via email and check in bc I hadn't seen you online for a bit. 2. I actually think the song was good for the time we were teens. Unfortunately it warped my sense of self. I am glad to know others felt that, too. but I am grateful this post resonated with you and you are doing your own shift!
