There is nothing like the absence of bullshit coming out of a wise southern woman. Because when they are done with the nonsense, they are Truly Done. I love how you lay it out, and I love what you're doing now. Keep going.

I would say I never had dreams. I waa raised with assumptions - be a secretary, get married, have children.... I didn't even manage those very well. So yes, I'm creating space to try to hear and identify some kind of dream for life now.

Go for it. Be you. And see the things that you can bring out.

Thank you for saying, “You don’t need to have it figured out. You just need to be done pretending you don’t care.” I’ve literally been telling myself, “I don’t care” every day about a job that has become so demoralizing it’s all I can do to drag myself out of bed 5 days a week to make money for OTHER people. These OTHER people have lost their way. ALL they care about is the money. I can’t retire yet and am trying to find my way through this. I’m so close to retirement. Less than 4 years away.

Also, I have to say: Those men who let you go were definitely not the brightest bulbs.
