I realized long ago that I was useful...
One day i think i became obsessed with my need to be useful. I didn't want to be a useless good for nothing Black woman. This led to much pain over the years.
Long story shortened I eventually ended getting used. Not by a few, but by many friends and family at the top of the list. But I learned to understand people will treat you, how you let them; and can only do what you allow. In some cases maybe many cases they tend to treat you ho you treat yourself.
The learning curves of life are inevitable. I always say, "there's a blessin' in the lesson." This is my honest belief that even the worst experience can be the best thing that's ever happened if you look at it from a wide lens and learn something valuable. I learned the my self worth was confused and mixed up with my desire to be useful and make my life count for something.
They say God gives us gifts to provide for us... He must really love me cause I have gifts, talents and skills. I am a, "Jack of all trades," and "a master of many." I will no longer do favors , solids, help desk, tech support advice, counsel, etc. or anything else you call, text, email, ask me for or about for free! I am how ever for hire for everything and anything I am blessed to be able to do well. The best part is everything I do is done with care,sincerity, integrity and love.
I know now, that in this world, it's my life on my terms so "F#@% You, PAY ME!"
I Am a Genius.
I Get Paid to Think.
I Am The BRAND.
