It's a hard road to travel sometimes, but it's a necessary one. I've come to understand and accept some truths in various relationships of mine, with family, the bf, ex-bfs, homegirls, ex-homegirls...you get the point. And it's so FREEING. I'm sitting here in one of those "thankless jobs" GT mentioned, and 2009 will definitely see me doing bigger and better. And I'm EXCITED. I can't wait to throw myself into this life thing fully and unapologetically. That's my goal for 2009 :) And FirstL8dy, girl, I feel you! Those "eureka" moments are great!

I suspect that's why so many of us play the role...but once you connect with and accept your truth your life is limitless..

Bless her heart but it is draining to talk to her, hear her bitch with no plans of how to fix anything, and her laziness makes my blood boil, and i am not judging, i complain, but it is complaining with action behind it, I work hard, I network, I move forward. I have gotten stuck but I still move forward. I don't like my mate's career/financial situation right now, and find it hard to encourage him bc it feels disingenuous at times, but he is finally letting me in and letting me help and give real advice and pointers and not resenting it, bc he realized that i kinda know how to dig myself out of a rut, been there, done that, got the tshirt.... i think i strayed off the topic but felt good to get it out.... :) I too have outgrown my bestie.

You and I had this chat, so you know my deal. I will say this, being who are you are and fighting daily to achieve an authentic life is one of the best things one can do for oneself.

You are on a roll sista fiyah. And I love it. Living in truth ain't easy. Especially when you have friends and family that judge you on the daily and give you those "who do you think you are" looks? It's not easy to face that every day when stepping outside of your comfort zone. You are talking some seriously powerful stuff... A lot of it is about caring what other people think...and I am guilty, guilty. guilty. GT.

I totally agree! It has taken me thirty some-odd years to grab hold to my own truth (that which I'm still learning) and then to appreciate it. And truthfully, it can be a daily battle to stay on top of but it is something that I'm getting better and better at. I am enjoying this journey of authenticity. Thanks for this post. Peace...
