Hi Eileen, thanks, that was interesting. Reading your text felt like looking into a mirror. I felt this strong "No, I don't want to have to sell corporate-me." Personally I've always felt that I don't fit into the corporate world and worked freelance in niches that allowed room for my weirdness.
I don't know if my refusal to sell in this way is a weakness or a strength. What makes me relate to your text is the honesty, the spirit of an explorer of one' own mind and feelings and the willingness to be vulnerable that touch me and speak to me. I'm wondering if this is not more about being in our texts than selling.
Thanks so much, Eva, for sharing. In so many ways, "fitting in" is over-rated! We're drawn to seek a fit, and society has told us our entire lives that we "should," but it's a much less interesting life when everyone is striving to meet some arbitrary or culturally-defined definition of "worth."
So true, Tracey. And there is no graduation. ;-) These lessons continue throughout our lives. Thanks for taking the time to comment and share your thoughts.

An interesting read thank you. Every day is a school in the understanding of self, somedays easier than others! ❤️
