“Your words will either give you joy or give you sorrow, but if they were spoken without regret, they give you peace.”
Shannon L. Alder
I am not enough.
But at the party, when I explained my day, I didn’t talk about this. Instead, I spoke about the latest sushi restaurant that opened downtown, my recent Netflix binge, a few timely comments on education reform and my son’s adorable new haircut. Because these are the stories that I tell?—I tell stories that other women are okay with hearing. Stories that don’t shake and don’t divulge. Stories that obfuscate and smooth.
But the truth is, on that day, I didn’t feel like I was enough.
