I am bitch and all that come before me

 I am committing to finishing bell hooks this week, I want to start Giovani's Room by James Baldwin. So I am reading bell hooks and it according to me that while I have heard and understood what 'self actualized' means I only know it by my context clues  definition  and not the textbook definition.   Self actualized: means realizing and fulfilling your unique potential, creative abilities and your personal desires. (Coined by Kurt G.) Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a conceptualization of needs  that motivate human behavior.

What am I "protecting" myself from? Why do I feel the need to have an image that is the opposite of who I want to be and who am I?  I think reading this article made me realize I am not enjoying the way I am perceived and I want to change that. 


Also I set up my first initial therapist appointment IT IS TIMEEE LET'S GOOOOOO. I am excited that I am starting this journey and that I can say that I am doing something that I planned on my goal list. This is a very short blog because I need to continue working on my modules. Additionally this mercury retrograde is short circuiting my brain and making me realize not every one deserves my energy and that I am ready to shed some skin as we enter into the New Year.
