I had a week where I did some things I didn't particularly want to do.


I didn't really want to get on a plane for three hours.

I didn't want to have this therapy session.

I didn't want to plan a follow up call for next week.


And at times like these, life can easily feel unfair.

But what I do want (desperately) is to live in a world where people feel loved and safe. So this past week, to accomplish that, I had to do things I didn't want to do.


And ya know what?


I'm proud of myself for it.
