I learned to shrink to fit in life in my 20's. I had a passion and a talent for the subject, and I was kicking ass. Thing was, since I was surrounded by #trolls and haters who wanted what I had and who I was, it became apparent that I was throwing off the curve, and I started believing what other thought. Looking back, I wish I could have just said to myself, I am awesome!, and shrugged it off and dismiss it but I had wanted to be liked. What we pretend to be, we have a way of becoming. By acting uncertain, insecure and self-doubting – I became exactly those things, and carried them into adulthood until my ah hah moment. For all those ambitious female, GLAMBITION, #KnockingDownWallsInHeels is for you!. Don't just fall and gravitate to the celebrated princes culture, the so-called eligible bachelors, who are revered and tough-minded and work all the time and may or may not be capable of empathy, who offer a lifestyle but not necessarily a real relationship. Who pay lip service to the idea of equality until the babies arrive, and then take it as a given that you will of course sacrifice your less-valuable career and your economic independence because you can’t put in that kind of workweek and be a good parent. And you realize that sure, you can maybe have it all — so long as you also do it all – and you didn’t sign up for that. xoxo-Dee
