I almost forgot what it was like to feel insubordinate. Sure, every now and then there was the occasional humbling moment when I realized my opinions and thoughts weren't valued. But in general, I was confident in my worth. I was worth it. I was special. My ideas mattered.
Today, for a fleeting moment, that changed. Instead of seeing myself as who I truly am.. I was sucked back into the image I created for myself years ago. I relied on my peers to affirm my place in the world, and was utterly crushed when instead they denied it.
I hope this doesn't happen again.
It sucks to be worthless.
