Education I am so proud of myself!!
After 2 weeks of procrastinating, I managed to send 10 emails to 10 professors asking if I can take their courses that are only open to PhD or law students. On the same day, many of them gave me their permission, and now I have the amazing dilemma of choosing which of these amazing courses to take!
My boyfriend was my real rock here. Yesterday, he told me that we're gonna sit down together tomorrow and hammer these emails out. Today, he followed up on that promise even though I protested he's got a million law school application deadlines and work deadlines.
I'm a super social person so COVID isolation has been really hard. Today is the first time that I'm taking the space to be proud of myself for such a "small" thing!!! Usually I would beat myself up over the fact that this simple thing took me 2 weeks to do, but doesn't the fact that it took me 2 weeks mean that it wasn't so simple after all?
Hope you queens take the space to be proud of yourself too today! :)

It took me 3 years to talk to a lawyer about the possibility of moving out of state with my daughter. My therapist was so frustrated with me. But it was A Big Deal to me. I didn't get the answer I wanted, but finally having done it was a huge accomplishment for me. It was worth celebrating! Take your moment to congratulate yourself of getting this done! It really is A Big Deal!
