#newpost 🤗: Wonder Woman loves food
.
“The other morning, when I walked into work, I felt like a superhero.
.
Not in the saving the world kind of way, but in the I’m-so-powerful-and-a-goddess kind of way.
.
In the mother of dragons, creator of worlds, working-at-my-dream-job-I-got-this-shit kind of way.
.
As I made my way toward the elevators, my superhero theme song ‘Blood in the Cut’ playing in my earbuds, I surveyed the lobby of the beautiful building I work in … and I had this feeling of, damn, I created this.
.
No, not the building or the lobby, but I created this very life I am living. I manifested every detail.
.
I wanted to live and work in Dallas and now I am here, working smack dab in the center of downtown. I wanted a solid, long-term career in graphic design and I have it. I wanted a boss who would allow me to be me, late start time and all, and I’m so grateful to have just that … while working at a place I once dreamed of working.
.
I manifested this.
.
I am Wonder Woman.
.
Or, rather, my modern-day version of her. But … like… instead of saving the universe and fighting world wars, I sing karaoke and travel the world and work in a downtown office with a view.
.
Ok … maybe not the same. But … close. Very close. .
..........
.
I felt so powerful that day when I recognized that I was right where I had always wanted to be. Look at me, I’m a freaking superhero. I’m a woman in full, creating my destiny, manifesting the impossible.
.
A woman totally in charge of my life, creator of worlds, vanquisher of foe–– wait. Wait …
.
What’s that I smell, with my powerful, god-like senses, wafting up from the basement food court?
.
Is it … CINNABON?
.
Mother of dragons, it IS.
.
You see, every superhero has a weakness. A downfall. Their kryptonite.
.
Mine is food.
.
Ok, well … food and alcohol. And men ….
.
Oh and math … but mostly, MOSTLY food.”
NEW: Faking It 🙌
________
‘Is this the new normal for all of us? Where we filter out our less-than-attractive pics, lying about the parts we’re worried might get rejected … only presenting the versions of ourselves we’re most proud of? Are we all guilty of ‘faking it’ to some degree?
.
Even though I love them … the filters and the falsies … I constantly have to ask myself, are they good for me? Or do they actually end up altering the view I have of myself when, say, I look in the all-too-real, unfiltered mirror?’
